💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Signature — a plugin that signs your releases with Module::Signature. that's the whole vibe. it's the little fairy godmother 🧚 that shows up at the end of your build and goes "✨ signed, sealed, iconic ✨".

this page lives in the manual as Dist::...nature(3pm), if you were wondering where you wandered into. you're in the right place, don't worry 🫶

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.252860 — that's the one, that's the era we're in 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓: this plugin will sign a distribution using Module::Signature. like, it literally takes your dist and gives it a signature. it's giving "notarized by the universe" energy.

⚠️ real talk though: this plugin should appear after any other AfterBuild plugin in your dist.ini file, to ensure that no files are modified after it has been run. no cap. if something touches your files after the signing happens, the signature is not gonna match what's actually there, and that's a whole mess you do not want. order matters, bestie 📋

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

  • sign — a string value. if it's archive, then a signature will be created when an archive is being created. if it's always, then the directory will be signed whenever it is built. the default is archive. (i know, the default is also the name of one of the values, keep up 😭)

and plot twist — this attribute can be overridden by an environment variable, DZSIGN. so the env var walks in and is like "i'll take it from here 💅".
