Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaNoIndex - Stop CPAN from indexing stuff

version 4.200008

In your dist.ini:

  [MetaNoIndex]

  directory = t/author
  directory = examples

  file = lib/Foo.pm

  package = My::Module

  namespace = My::Module

This plugin allows you to prevent PAUSE/CPAN from indexing files you don't want indexed. This is useful if you build test classes or example classes that are used for those purposes only, and are not part of the distribution. It does this by adding a no_index block to your META.json (or META.yml) file in your distribution.

Exclude folders and everything in them, for example: author.t

Aliases: folder, dir, directory

Exclude a specific file, for example: lib/Foo.pm

Alias: file

Exclude by package name, for example: My::Package

Aliases: class, module, package

Exclude everything under a specific namespace, for example: My::Package

Alias: namespace

NOTE: This will not exclude the package My::Package, only everything under it like My::Package::Foo.

Returns a reference to a hash containing the distribution's no_index metadata.
