NAME

Dist::Zilla - distribution builder; installer not included!
VERSION

DESCRIPTION

Dist::Zilla builds distributions of code to be uploaded to the CPAN. In this
respect, it is like ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, or
Module::Install. Unlike those tools, however, it is not also a system for
installing code that has been downloaded from the CPAN. Since it's only run by
authors, and is meant to be run on a repository checkout rather than on
published, released code, it can do much more than those tools, and is free to
make much more ludicrous demands in terms of prerequisites.
If you have access to the web, you can learn more and find an interactive
tutorial at dzil.org. If not, try
Dist::Zilla::Tutorial.
ATTRIBUTES

name
The name attribute (which is required) gives the name of the distribution to be
built. This is usually the name of the distribution's main module, with the
double colons (::) replaced with dashes. For example: Dist-Zilla.
version
This is the version of the distribution to be created.
abstract
This is a one-line summary of the distribution. If none is given, one will be
looked for in the main_module of the dist.
main_module
This is the module where Dist::Zilla might look for various defaults, like
the distribution abstract. By default, it's derived from the distribution
name. If your distribution is Foo-Bar, and lib/Foo/Bar.pm exists,
that's the main_module. Otherwise, it's the shortest-named module in the
distribution. This may change!
You can override the default by specifying the file path explicitly,
ie:
main_module = lib/Foo/Bar.pm
license
This is the Software::License object for this dist's
license and copyright.
It will be created automatically, if possible, with the
copyright_holder and copyright_year attributes. If necessary, it will
try to guess the license from the POD of the dist's main module.
A better option is to set the license name in the dist's config to something
understandable, like Perl_5.
authors
This is an arrayref of author strings, like this:
[
'Ricardo Signes <rjbs@cpan.org>',
'X. Ample, Jr <example@example.biz>',
]
This is likely to change at some point in the near future.
files
This is an arrayref of objects implementing Dist::Zilla::Role::File that
will, if left in this arrayref, be built into the dist.
Non-core code should avoid altering this arrayref, but sometimes there is not
other way to change the list of files. In the future, the representation used
for storing files will be changed.
root
This is the root directory of the dist, as a Path::Class::Dir. It will
nearly always be the current working directory in which dzil was run.
is_trial
This attribute tells us whether or not the dist will be a trial release.
plugins
This is an arrayref of plugins that have been plugged into this Dist::Zilla
object.
Non-core code must not alter this arrayref. Public access to this attribute
may go away in the future.
This is a hashref containing the metadata about this distribution that will be
stored in META.yml or META.json. You should not alter the metadata in this
hash; use a MetaProvider plugin instead.
prereqs
This is a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object, which is a thin layer atop
CPAN::Meta::Prereqs, and describes the distribution's prerequisites.
logger
This attribute stores a Log::Dispatchouli::Proxy object, used to log
messages. By default, a proxy to the dist's Chrome (Dist::Zilla::Chrome) is
taken.
The following methods are delegated from the Dist::Zilla object to the logger:
METHODS

plugin_named
my $plugin = $zilla->plugin_named( $plugin_name );
plugins_with
my $roles = $zilla->plugins_with( -SomeRole );
This method returns an arrayref containing all the Dist::Zilla object's plugins
that perform a the named role. If the given role name begins with a dash, the
dash is replaced with "Dist::Zilla::Role::"
find_files
my $files = $zilla->find_files( $finder_name );
This method will look for a
FileFinder-performing plugin with the given
name and return the result of calling find_files on it. If no plugin can be
found, an exception will be raised.
stash_named
my $stash = $zilla->stash_named( $name );
This method will return the stash with the given name, or undef if none exists.
It looks for a local stash (for this dist) first, then falls back to a global
stash (from the user's global configuration).
SUPPORT

There are usually people on irc.perl.org in #distzilla, even if they're
idling.
The Dist::Zilla website has several valuable resources for
learning to use Dist::Zilla.
There is a mailing list to discuss Dist::Zilla. You can join the list or browse the archives.
