✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Role::PrereqSource — bestie, it's the role for anything that registers prerequisites 💅

(and yeah, the page header is flexing the Perl doc collection name, Dist::Z...eqSource(3) — that truncated lil thing is just this very page, no cap 🎀)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole tea 🍓: plugins that do the PrereqSource thing ship a method called register_prereqs, and that method's entire job — its main character moment — is to register prereqs with the Dist::Zilla object. that's it. that's the vibe. 👑

  • register_prereqs — the method your plugin has to have, and it should register prereqs with the Dist::Zilla object 🫶

💜 PERL VERSION 💜

not me being the most chill module in the repo 😌✨ this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. fr fr. what that means in practice: any version of 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. iconic behavior honestly. 🌈

⚠️ lowkey important caveat, bestie: although it may work on older versions of perl, there is no guarantee made that the minimum required version will not be increased. the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so don't come for me with that "but it worked on my ancient perl" energy 🙈
