Dist::Dzpl - An alternative configuration format (.pl) and invoker for Dist::Zilla

VERSION

version 0.0020

SYNOPSIS

Below is an example file that would exist in your distribution root, called dist.pl or dzpl:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl
    use Dzpl
        name => 'Acme-Xyzzy',
        version => '0.0001',
        author => 'Ja P. Hacker <japh@example.com>',
        license => 'Perl5',
        copyright => 'Ja P. Hacker', # Will automaticaly fill in the current year

        # Declare prerequisites for runtime and testing (building)
        # Alternatively, you can specify 'recommend' or 'prefer'
        require => q/
            Moose

            [Test]
            Test::Most
        /;
    ;

    # Declare some plugins to use. The regular expression following
    # the @Basic bundle is a filter excluding Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Readme
    plugin
        '@Basic' => qr/Readme$/,
        'PodWeaver',
        'PkgVersion',
        'ReadmeFromPod',
        '=Dist::Dzpl::Plugin::DynamicManifest',
        '=Dist::Dzpl::Plugin::CopyReadmeFromBuild',
    ;

    run;

Then, from the commandline:

    dzpl build      # Build the distribution via $zilla->build
    dzpl dzil help  # The usual Dist::Dzil::App help message

DESCRIPTION

Dist::Dzpl is a wrapper around Dist::Zilla, allowing an alternative, flexible configuration mechanism. Instead of describing your distribution using an .ini file, you can use a Perl .pl script

Your configuation file can be named dzpl, dz.pl, or dist.pl, and will be picked in that order

Dist::Dzpl is dz*P*l is to .pl as Dist::Zilla is dz*I*l is to .ini
