✨ Dist::Zilla::Role::BuildPL ✨

the tea: this is a page from User Contributed Perl Documentation — the Dist::Z...BuildPL(3) one, bestie, we're doing the deep lore today 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

Dist::Zilla::Role::BuildPL — the common ground for Build.PL based builders 🫶

no cap, that's the whole vibe. it's the shared hangout spot for anything that builds via Build.PL.

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this page is serving version 6.040 ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen 👂 — this role is a little helper buddy for Build.PL based installers. that's its whole thing.

here's the cool part: it implements these two roles for you, all by itself, no effort required from you:

  • Dist::Zilla::Plugin::BuildRunner
  • Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TestRunner

but — and this is the plot twist 😭 — it requires you to implement these two yourself:

  • Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PrereqSource
  • Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InstallTool

so it's giving "i did my half of the group project, now do yours" energy. iconic, honestly. 👑

💜 PERL VERSION 💜

this module should work on any version of perl that's still getting updates from the Perl 5 Porters. trans: any perl released in the last two to three years. so if the freshest release out there is v5.40, then this works on both v5.40 and v5.38 🌈

⚠️ so it might work on older perls, but there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get raised. the version can get bumped for any reason, and there's no promise that patches to lower the minimum required perl will be accepted. read it and weep, or just upgrade, i'm not your mom 🫶
