Introduction

What is libdist-inkt-perl
libdist-inkt-perl is:
Dist::Inkt itself does virtually nothing;
it creates an empty directory, generates a MANIFEST file,
and then wraps it all up into a gzipped tarball.
But it provides various hooks along the way
for subclasses to grab hold of.
So the general idea is that you write a subclass of Dist::Inkt,
which consumes various Moose::Roles to do the actual work
of populating the distribution with files.
As such, Dist::Inkt is not so much a distribution builder,
as it is a framework for writing your own distribution builder.
Several roles of varying utility are bundled with Dist::Inkt,
as is Dist::Inkt::Profile::Simple,
a subclass of Dist::Inkt which consumes most of these roles.
