Buildable, Testable, Installable Git repo for Perl modules

tl;dr We might need a standard build file to build a module from Git repository, especially for the ones using Module::Install or dzil.

The problem

When an author of CPAN module uses an authoring tool that generates build files when shipping them to CPAN, the git repository usually doesn't have enough files to build, test and install the module.

For example, if dzil (Dist::Zilla) is used, the repository only conatains dist.ini and there's no Makefile.PL or Build.PL so standard CPAN installers or Continuous Integration tools don't know how to run tests on it.

	#!/usr/bin/env perl

	use 5.12.0;
	use autodie;
	use Carp;
	use utf8::all;
	use File::Spec::Functions qw(catfile catdir);
	use File::Find::Rule;
	use Getopt::Long;
	use Capture::Tiny qw(capture);

	#!/usr/bin/env perl

	use Cwd;
	use File::Temp;

	# Remember the current directory
	my $oldcwd = getcwd;
	# Create a temporary directory
	my $dir = File::Temp->newdir;
	# Go to the temporary directory

	#!/bin/bash

	name=$RANDOM
	url='http://localhost:9093/api/v1/alerts'

	echo "firing up alert $name"

	# change url o
