Dist::Z...Default(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::MintingProfile::Default β€” the default minting profile provider, bestie πŸ’…

Okay so real talk, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation and it's all about the module Dist::Zilla::MintingProfile::Default. That's a lot of colons but we move 🫢


🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 β€” that's the one, no cap ✨


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

It's the default minting profile provider. Periodt.

Here's the tea though β˜• β€” when it goes looking for a profile, it peeks in ~/.dzil/profiles/$profile_name first. That's your personal stash, your little corner of the filesystem, your main character directory πŸ’–

If it doesn't find what it's looking for there? No worries, it just goes and looks among the default profiles shipped with Dist::Zilla. Iconic fallback behaviour, honestly πŸ¦‹


πŸ’œ PERL VERSION πŸ’œ

So this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. What does that mean in practice? It means any version of perl released in the last two to three years. Like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. Two for the price of one, slay πŸ”₯

Now, the caveat β€” and you know there's always a caveat πŸ’€ β€” even though it may work on older versions of perl, there is no guarantee 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. So don't come through with a patch to lower the floor expecting a warm welcome, because fr fr there's no promise πŸ™ˆ

And that's the whole page, bestie! Nothing hidden, nothing skipped. Every option-shaped thing that isn't here really isn't in the original either β€” this one's a short queen πŸ’…

Sign-off time πŸŽ€ β€” this lovely lil' page came from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for Dist::Z...Default(3), generated with perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-10-19. Bye babes, go mint some dists πŸ’–βœ¨πŸ¦‹
