SYNOPSIS

$ ddt --license-name=LGPL new Foo::Bar # create Foo-Bar distribution
$ cd Foo-Bar
$ ddt build        # build the distribution and re-generate

DESCRIPTION

Ddt is an authoring and distribution development tool for Perl6. It provides scaffolding for generating new distributions, packages, modules, grammers, classes and roles.

WARNING

This project is a technology preview. It may change at any point. The only API which can be considered stable up to the v1.0 is the command line interface.
