E.g., the test failure at http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/49d752e0-bade-11e8-83ca-8681f4fbe649 . It looks like Makefile.PL just needs use lib:: relative '.' or the like. Thanks!

cpan:CXW here. I just discovered this module, which looks very interesting! I have a request: would you be willing to add a way to create a wrapper script that pastes the local::lib setup at the top of a script included in the module? E.g.,

#!$self->{which_perl}
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib '$lib';
use local::lib '$target';
#line 1 some_script
$text_slurped_from_some_script

My use case is distributing scripts to people who don't have local::lib installed or Perl expertise. Given a CPAN module App::Foo that has both Perl and XS dependencies, and includes a script in script/foo or bin/foo (example script), I would like users to be able to install by doing something like:

curl -L http://cpanmin.us/ | perl - --local-lib ~/.local/share/foo App::local::lib::helper App::Foo
ln -s ~/.local/share/foo/script/foo ~/bin/foo

The requested change is so that the single file ~/.local/share/foo/script/foo will exist. If I understand correctly, users would currently have to create ~/bin/foo with the contents .../localenv .../script/foo.

Thank you for considering this request!
