6.5. Acceptance Testing
You need a way to deliver your code to the customer, and the makefile we built earlier contains several targets for this purpose:
tardist: Make a Unix tar file (converting files to Unix format if you're not on Unix).
dist: Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT), which in turn defaults to tardist.
uutardist: Make a uuencoded tarfile (suitable for e-mailing).
zipdist: Make a compressed distribution file with the program specified by $(ZIP).
The full documentation for the makefile can be retrieved with perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
