=item B<BUILD>

The build number that is added to the filename.  Defaults to "1".

As packages may be built recursively, setting this variable is mainly useful
when all packages are rebuilt.  For example, after Perl has been upgraded.

=item B<TAG>

This tag is added to the package filename.  Defaults to "_CPANPLUS".

=item B<PKGTYPE>

The package extension.  Defaults to "tgz".  May be set to "tbz", "tlz" or
"txz".  The respective compression utility needs to be installed on the
machine.

=item B<INSTALLDIRS>

The installation destination. Can be "vendor" or "site". Defaults to "vendor".

=head1 DEPENDENCIES

Requires the Slackware Linux package management tools C<makepkg>,
C<installpkg>, C<updatepkg>, and C<removepkg>.  Other required commands are
C<chown>, C<cp>, C<file>, C<make>, C<strip> and a C compiler.

In order to manage packages as a non-root user, which is highly recommended,
you must have C<sudo> and, optionally, C<fakeroot>.  You can download a script
that builds C<fakeroot> from L<https://slackbuilds.org/>.

Requires the modules CPANPLUS and Module::Pluggable from CPAN.

The lowest supported Module::Build version is 0.36.

The required modules Cwd, ExtUtils::Packlist, File::Find, File::Spec,
File::Temp, IO::Compress::Gzip, IPC:Cmd, Locale::Maketext::Simple,
Module::CoreList 2.32, Params::Check, POSIX, Text::Wrap and version 0.77 are
distributed with Perl 5.12.3 and above.

If available, the modules Parse::CPAN::Meta, Pod::Find and Pod::Simple are used.

=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

Packages created with CPANPLUS::Dist::Slackware may provide the same files as
packages built with scripts from L<https://slackbuilds.org/> and packages created
with C<cpan2tgz>.
