Dist::Z...terBuild(3)

📦
version 6.040 · 9 versions
, in fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is Dist::Zilla::Role::AfterBuild — it's the vibe for plugins that wanna do their lil thing after the build is basically done 🎀 (this lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's giving very much "perl, but make it a role" 💅)

💖 VERSION 💖

this is version 6.040, bestie ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — if a plugin implements this role, then its after_build method gets called once all the files have been written out. that's it, that's the whole moment. it's the afterparty 🎉

and when it gets called, it gets handed a hashref with this data in it:

  build_root - the directory in which the dist was built

so yeah — that's where your build lives, bestie 🏠

🦋 PERL VERSION 🦋

ngl this module is designed to work on any version of perl that's still getting updates from the Perl 5 Porters. translate: any perl released in like the last two to three years, fr fr.

so like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. iconic behavior honestly 👑

now listen — it might work on older perls, but no promises, no cap 🚫. there's literally no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped up. it can get raised for any reason at all, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so don't come for her with that 💀
