DESCRIPTION

I frelling hate these things, but several releases in, I found myself needing to keep my dist.ini stuff in sync, which requires a single module to bind them to.

NAMING SCHEME

I'm a strong believer in structured order in the chaos that is the CPAN namespace. There's enough cruft in CPAN, with all of the forked modules, legacy stuff that should have been removed 10 years ago, and confusion over which modules are available vs. which ones actually work. (Which all stem from the same base problem, so I'm almost repeating myself...)

Like I said, I hate writing these personalized modules on CPAN. I even bantered around the idea of using MetaCPAN's author JSON input to store the plugin data. However, keeping the Author plugins separated from the real PluginBundles is a step in the right direction. See KENTNL's comments on the Author namespace for more information.

CAVEATS

This uses Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Merged, so all of the plugins' arguments are available, using Merged's rules. Special care should be made with arguments that might not be unique with other plugins. (Eventually, I'll throw these into config_rename.)

If this is a problem, you might want to consider using @Filter.

One exception is x_irc, which is detected and passed to MetaResourcesFromGit properly.

SEE ALSO

In building my ultimate dist.ini file, I did a bunch of research on which modules to cram in here. As a result, this is a pretty large set of plugins, but that's exactly how I like my DZIL. Feel free to research the modules listed here, as there's a bunch of good modules that you might want to include in your own dist.ini and/or Author bundle.
