Dist::Z...::setup(3)

💅 NAME 💅

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::setup — bestie, it sets up a basic global config file for you 🎀

(and since we're being polite: this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, filed under Dist::Z...::setup(3) ✨)

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 — this is the version we're vibing with rn 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

$ dzil setup
Enter your name> Ricardo Signes
...

okay so here's the tea 🫖 — Dist::Zilla goes looking for your per-user configuration in ~/.dzil/config.ini. This command is the little interview it does with you, asking for some basic info so it can build out the config.ini sections that basically everybody needs. Lowkey the most helpful setup wizard energy 💅

⚠️ WARNING: PAUSE account details are stored within config.ini in plain text. Not encrypted, not hashed, not hidden — just vibing out in the open. So bestie, guard that file like it's your diary 🙈

🐪 PERL VERSION 🐪

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which means it's good on any perl released in the last two to three years. (So like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.) 📆✨

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. Periodt 💀
