Hei!

Looking forward to the hackathon this weekend! :)

Just to make it a little more fun/productive, my colleagues and I are bringing 
some code to show you all! :D

We're bringing a functioning post-install test extension for Module::Build. The 
main features are:

  - With it, you can install your CPAN package tests in a standard[1] location,
    either by running './Build installtests' or by setting and environment
    variable that makes './Build install' do the same.
  - If you've chosen to install packages this way, you now get the option to
    run these tests at some later point - like when you're about to upgrade
    a dependency of something you care about. Use the new './Build testrdeps'
    and './Build testinc' actions for this!
  - There examples and tests!

We've also prepared a 30min presentation w/demo if any of you are interested in 
seeing our take on the post-install discussion, and we'd love to give it if 
anyone's interested! \o/

Also, you can see/clone the code right now:

    git clone git://github.com/bannaN/Module-Build-PIT.git

Hope this is a useful addition to the hackathon this weekend! :)
