Dist::Z...version(3)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::version β€” the lil command that spills dzil's version, bestie πŸ’…

Think of it as the "hey what era are we in" button for your Dist::Zilla install. That's the whole job. It ate and left no crumbs.


✨ VERSION ✨

It's version 6.040 πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Print dzil version, periodt:

$ dzil --version or $dzil version

That's literally it. Type it, get a number, move on with your day πŸ¦‹


🫢 PERL VERSION 🫢

okay so this is the important part, no skipping πŸ™ˆ β€” this module is meant to work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which, in human words, means any perl released in the last two to three years. So if the freshest drop out there is v5.40, then this module should be chilling on both v5.40 and v5.38 ⭐

And even though it might still work on older perls? No promises. πŸ’€ There's zero guarantee the minimum required version won't get bumped up. And that bump can happen for literally any reason. There is also no promise that patches trying to lower the minimum perl will get accepted. So don't come for her with that 😭

iykyk: older perl support is a vibe, not a contract πŸ’œ
