A tool to prepare a self-contained app directory.

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

Prepare a configuration file.

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

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

Build it

seacan myapp_seacan.toml

Directory Layout

• /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

Additionally, a launcher script with the aforementioned command was created on:

• /opt/CoffeeChair/bin/CoffeeChair
