Dist::Z...ShareDir(3)

💖 Dist::Z...ShareDir 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Dist::Zilla::Role::ShareDir — yes that's the whole name, the header just clipped it for aesthetic reasons or whatever 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Role::ShareDir — it's the role for something that picks a directory to install as shared files 🎀

no cap, that's the whole job. it picks a dir. the dir goes in as shared files. icon status, honestly.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 — put some respect on it 💜

---

🦋 PERL VERSION 🦋

okay so real talk about which perls this plays nice with 🫶

this module should work on any version of perl that's still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. and what does that mean in practice? it means any version of perl released in the last two to three years. fr fr.

like, lowkey the way to think about it: if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. that's the vibe 💖

now, it may work on older versions of perl, but bestie, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version won't 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 like… don't build your whole life on ancient perl and then act surprised 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and structurally perfect, it's giving minimalism 🧚

this was perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-10-19 — and it was the Dist::Z...ShareDir(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, mwah 💋
