The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Contributing

Footprintless uses standard perl conventions as well as a few items outlined in Damian Conway's Perl Best Practices. The build tool used is Dist::Zilla (dist.ini). Code formatting is handled by perltidy (xt/.perltidyrc). And documentation is generated by Pod::Weaver (weaver.ini).

Dist::Zilla

Dist::Zilla handles the entire build lifecycle as well as many other tasks like running unit tests, and perltidy. Before checking any code in, dzil perltidy and dzil test should be run in order to ensure proper code formatting and code validity.

Pod::Weaver

Pod::Weaver simplifies pod syntax and generates various sections based upon other project configuration. It uses non-standard pod syntax interwoven with standard pod syntax so take care to use the proper syntax for the proper situation.
