NAME

Pod::Weaver::Section::ReplaceLegal - Add or replace a COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE section.

VERSION

version 1.00

OVERVIEW

This section plugin provides the same behaviour as Pod::Weaver::Section::Legal but with the Pod::Weaver::Role::SectionReplacer role applied.

It will produce a hunk of Pod giving the copyright and license information for the document, like this:

  =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE

  This document is copyright (C) 1991, Ricardo Signes.

  This document is available under the blah blah blah.

This plugin will do nothing if no license input parameter is available. The license is expected to be a Software::License object.

CUSTOMIZATION

In addition to the standard Pod::Weaver::Section::Legal behaviour, you may customize the behaviour of Pod::Weaver::Section::ReplaceLegal with the following options in your weaver.ini:

year = year string

You may supply a copyright year, to be used by Software::License via the year parameter.

The year may be a number or it may be an arbitrary string.

Within any string the word 'current' will be replaced by the current year.

For example in your weaver.ini:

  [ReplaceLegal]
  year = 2005-current

This will, in the year 2010, produce the year string 2005-2010 for use within the Software::License object.
