See included scripts:

FUNCTIONS

this_dist

Usage:

 my $dist = this_dist([ $dir ] [ , $extract_version? ] [ , $detail? ]); => e.g. "App-Foo" or "App-Foo 1.23" or {dist=>"App-Foo", dist_version=>1.23, ...}

If $dir is not specified, will default to current directory. If $extract_version is set to true, will also try to extract distribution version and will return "?" for version when version cannot be found. If $detail is set to true, then instead of just a string, will return a hash of more detailed information.

this_mod

A thin wrapper for "this_dist". It just converts "-" in the result to "::", so "Foo-Bar" becomes "Foo::Bar".

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
