💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaResources — it's the plugin that hands you arbitrary "resources" for your distribution metadata. yes literally whatever entries you want. slay. 🎀

(and for the record? this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages. iykyk.) ✨

🌸 VERSION 🌸

it's giving version 6.040 babes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the whole vibe of this plugin is: it adds resources entries straight into your distribution's metadata. that's it. that's the job. and honestly? she ate. 🔥

here's what it looks like in your dist.ini, no cap:

[MetaResources]
homepage          = https://example.com/~dude/project.asp
bugtracker.web    = https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Project
bugtracker.mailto = bug-Project@rt.cpan.org
repository.url    = git://github.com/dude/project.git
repository.web    = https://github.com/dude/project
repository.type   = git

look at her go. every one of those keys just gets dropped into the metadata. periodt. 💖

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

bestie this module should work on literally any version of perl that's still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. which means — lowkey — any perl that got released in the last two to three years. so if the freshest release out there is v5.40? then she works on both v5.40 and v5.38. iconic behaviour. ⭐

now the fine print, because there always is one: she might work on older perls, but there's no guarantee the minimum required version won't get bumped up on you. the version can be raised for literally any reason, and there's no promise that patches trying to lower the minimum required perl will be accepted. so like… don't count on it. 🙈

hope that helped, angel — go write some metadata that slays. 🦋💖✨
