Dist::Zilla::Prereqs - the prerequisites of a Dist::Zilla distribution

version 4.200008

Dist::Zilla::Prereqs is a subcomponent of Dist::Zilla. The prereqs attribute on your Dist::Zilla object is a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object, and is responsible for keeping track of the distribution's prerequisites.

In fact, a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object is just a thin layer over a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object, stored in the cpan_meta_prereqs attribute.

Almost everything this object does is proxied to the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object, so you should really read how that works.

Dist::Zilla::Prereqs proxies the following methods to the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object:

• finalize
• is_finalized
• requirements_for
• as_string_hash

  $prereqs->register_prereqs(%prereqs);

  $prereqs->register_prereqs(\%arg, %prereqs);

This method adds new minimums to the prereqs object. If a hashref is the first arg, it may have entries for phase and type to indicate what kind of prereqs are being registered. (For more information on phase and type, see CPAN::Meta::Spec.) For example, you might say:

  $prereqs->register_prereqs(
    { phase => 'test', type => 'recommends' },
    'Test::Foo' => '1.23',
    'XML::YZZY' => '2.01',
  );

If not given, phase and type default to runtime and requires, respectively.
