💖 NAME 💖

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ConfirmRelease — the plugin that's literally like "bestie, u sure???" before u yeet ur dist to CPAN 🚀

(also hi, this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, mwah 💅)

✨ VERSION ✨

version 6.040 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. this plugin stops u right before u release ur distribution to CPAN and asks hey. bestie. do u actually wanna do this?? and it genuinely gives u a chance to abort before the upload happens. no takebacks, no "oops I meant to hit no", just a lil vibe check before the big moment 🌸

the default answer is no, which is honestly so real of it. but if ur feeling unbothered and just want to smash enter and go, u can set the environment variable DZIL_CONFIRMRELEASE_DEFAULT to yes and then hitting enter = releasing. iconic behaviour, no cap 🔥

fr fr though, this is ur last lil safety net before ur stuff goes live to the whole CPAN. it's giving ✨second thoughts✨ but like. in a helpful way.

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. translation: it works 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.)

and now the part where it's lowkey shady but honest: even though it might work on older perl versions, there's no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped. 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 like. don't come for it 😭
