Dist::...ANfile(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Prereqs::FromCPANfile — bestie, it parses your cpanfile for prereqs ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so drop this in your dist.ini and you're literally done:

# dist.ini
[Prereqs::FromCPANfile]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Prereqs::FromCPANfile is a Dist::Zilla plugin that reads your cpanfile and uses it to figure out the prerequisites for your distribution. no cap, it just does that. 🫶

and listen, it's the exact opposite of what Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CPANFile does — that one creates a cpanfile from the prereqs you collected everywhere else. this one goes the other direction. it's giving reverse uno card. 🔄

when the feature DSL gets used inside your cpanfile, it gets correctly converted into optional_features in your META data. slay, it just works. ✨

DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN IN COMBINATION WITH Plugin::CPANFile. like, seriously bestie, don't. you will probably be complained about for creating duplicate files from dzil and it's gonna be a whole thing. 😭
