NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckSelfDependency - Check if your distribution declares a dependency on itself

VERSION

version 0.005

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

    [CheckSelfDependency]

DESCRIPTION

This is a Dist::Zilla plugin that runs in the after build phase, which checks all of your module prerequisites (all phases, all types except develop) to confirm that none of them refer to modules that are provided by this distribution.

While some prereq providers (e.g. [AutoPrereqs]) do not inject dependencies found internally, there are many plugins that generate code and also inject the prerequisites needed by that code, without regard to whether some of those modules might be provided by your dist.

If such modules are found, the build fails. To remedy the situation, remove the plugin that adds the prerequisite, or remove the prerequisite itself with [RemovePrereqs]. (Remember that plugin order is significant -- you need to remove the prereq after it has been added.)

SUPPORT

Bugs may be submitted through the RT bug tracker (or bug-Dist-Zilla-Plugin-CheckSelfDependency@rt.cpan.org). I am also usually active on irc, as 'ether' at irc.perl.org.
