Dist::...Archive(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Run::BeforeArchive — bestie, this lil plugin runs a command for your dist before the archive gets built. Like, right before the tarball era begins. It's giving pre-game ritual energy. ✨

(Also hi, you're reading the User Contributed Perl Documentation version of this page, just so you know who wrote all this down for you 🫶)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.050 — yeah, she's got a number, she's got a vibe. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so in your dist.ini you literally just drop this in:

[Run::BeforeArchive]
run = script/do_this.pl --dir %d --version %v
run = script/do_that.pl

That's it. That's the whole setup. Iconic. 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea: this plugin executes the specified command right before the archive file is built. Before. Not after. Before. Timing is everything, bestie. ⏰

If you've got stuff that needs to happen — scripts to run, things to poke, whatever — and it has to happen before the tarball gets sealed up, this is your girl. 💖

🎀 POSITIONAL PARAMETERS 🎀

Wanna know what those funky little %d and %v things are? Same, girl.

Go check out "CONVERSIONS" in Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Run — that's where the full list of common formatting variables lives, and those variables are available to all the plugins, not just this one. iykyk. 🔥
