Seacan - A tool to prepare a self-contained app directory.

Let's say I want to make a distribution for my app named "CoffeeChair".

First, prepare a configuration file in TOML format, named coffeechair_seacan.toml

[seacan]
output = "/opt/CoffeeChair"
app = "/src/CoffeeChair"
app_name = "CoffeeChair.pl"

[perl]
version = "5.20.0"
configure_args = "-Dusethreads"

Noted that The source code of the CoffeeChair must be placed at "/src/CoffeeChair" first.

Now, build the the distribution with this, the output directory /opt/CoffeeChair will be filled by this process:

seacan coffeechair_seacan.toml

Here's how the directyr looks like:

- /opt/CoffeeChair
  - perlbrew/perls/seacan-perl
  - local/
  - app/CoffeeChair

Afterwards, invoking commands like this:

PERL5LIB=/opt/Coffeechair/local/lib/perl5 /opt/CoffeeChair/perlbrew/perls/seacan-perl/bin/perl /opt/CoffeeChair/app/CoffeeChair/bin/app.pl

Or alternatively, a launcher script with the that command can be found at:

 /opt/CoffeeChair/bin/CoffeeChair
