💖 Dist::Zilla::Plugin::LicenseFromModule 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the 3pm page for Dist::Zilla::Plugin::LicenseFromModule — yeah it's one of those User Contributed Perl Documentation girlies, and she is lowkey a lifesaver. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::LicenseFromModule — Extract License and Copyright from its main_module file 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

it's giving minimal effort, maximum slay:

; dist.ini
[LicenseFromModule]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. periodt. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Dist::Zilla::Plugin::LicenseFromModule is a Dist::Zilla plugin, and what she does is literally extract the license, the author, and the copyright year straight out of your main module's POD document. like, she reads the vibes your POD is already giving off and pulls the receipts. 🔥

now here's the tea ☕ — Dist::Zilla by default already extracts the license from your POD when it's not specified. she's been doing that. but 💀 she will bail out if you don't specify the right copyright holder. like, she needs to know whose name goes on it, bestie. no holder, no deal.

and that's where this plugin comes in, being the main character 👑 — it will scan the license and the copyright holder from the POD document, just like Module::Install's license_from and author_from. so it's the same energy, different era. we love a glow-up. 🫶
