Dist::Zilla::Prereqs - the prerequisites of a Dist::Zilla distribution
version 5.046
Dist::Zilla::Prereqs is a subcomponent of Dist::Zilla. The prereqs attribute on your Dist::Zilla object is a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object, and is responsible for keeping track of the distribution's prerequisites.
prereqs
In fact, a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object is just a thin layer over a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object, stored in the cpan_meta_prereqs attribute.
cpan_meta_prereqs
Almost everything this object does is proxied to the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object, so you should really read how that works.
Dist::Zilla::Prereqs proxies the following methods to the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object:
finalize
is_finalized
requirements_for
as_string_hash
$prereqs->register_prereqs(%prereqs); $prereqs->register_prereqs(\%arg, %prereqs);
This method adds new minimums to the prereqs object. If a hashref is the first arg, it may have entries for phase and type to indicate what kind of prereqs are being registered. (For more information on phase and type, see CPAN::Meta::Spec.) For example, you might say:
phase
type
$prereqs->register_prereqs( { phase => 'test', type => 'recommends' }, 'Test::Foo' => '1.23', 'XML::YZZY' => '2.01', );
If not given, phase and type default to runtime and requires, respectively.
