💖 Dist::Zilla::Role::BuildRunner(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, this is Dist::Zilla::Role::BuildRunner(3) and she's a whole vibe 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Role::BuildRunner — something used as a delegating agent during dzil run 🫶

like. that's literally her whole job description. delegating. queen behavior honestly 👑

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — plugins that implement this role get their build method called during dzil run. that's it. that's the moment. main character energy fr 💅

and what does build get handed? the root directory of the build test dir. it's giving "here's the keys, go off" 🔑

💜 PERL VERSION 💜

okay so this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters 🌈 which basically means any perl released in the last two to three years. like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. simple math, no cap 🧮

⚠️ now the serious part, bestie. even though it might work on older perls, there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped. and it can get bumped for any reason whatsoever. and no — patches to lower the minimum required perl are not promised to be accepted. periodt 💀

🌟 REQUIRED METHODS 🌟

🎀 build

this method will throw an exception on failure 😭

that's the whole spec. if it fails, it throws. no silent sad-girl behavior, it tells you. iconic.
