💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this is Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Manifest, and its whole entire job is to build a MANIFEST file ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 — she's current, she's cute, she's here 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, if you include this plugin, it will produce a MANIFEST file for the distribution, and that file lists all of the files it contains. every single one. no crumbs left behind 🍓

and for obvious reasons — like, the most obvious reasons ever, the way it needs to see everything before it writes everything down — it should be included as close to last as possible. like, end of the plugin list. final girl energy. main character of the finish line 👑

also!! this plugin is included in the @Basic bundle. so if you're running @Basic, congrats, you already have her 🫶

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. translate: any perl released in the last two to three years. so if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. slay 🌈

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 💀
