🌸 NAME 🌸

Dist::Zilla::Role::BeforeBuild — the lil' role for stuff that runs before building really begins 💅

okay so this is a role, bestie. it's for plugins that want to do their thing first, before literally anyone else gets a turn. main character energy, no cap 👑

✨ VERSION ✨

version 6.040 — yeah that's the one, that's our girl 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: if a plugin implements this role, its before_build method gets called before any other plugins are consulted. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the opening act, the first one on stage, the "not me showing up early to the function" energy 🙈

like, think of it as the queue-jumper of Dist::Zilla — but legally, and on purpose, and it slays 🌈

🦋 PERL VERSION 🦋

real talk about which perls this works on:

  • this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters ✨
  • that means any perl released in the last two to three years — so like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38 💜
okay but here's the fine print, bestie: it might work on older perls, but there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped. it can go up for literally any reason at all, and there's no promise that patches to lower the minimum perl will be accepted. so don't come for her about it 😭
