Dist::Z...::Stash(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to Dist::Zilla::Role::Stash 💖 — you're reading the user-contributed Perl documentation for it, section 3, and yeah the running header chops the name down to Dist::Z...::Stash(3) because man pages are dramatic like that 🙈.

So what is it? It's something that stores options or data for later reference. That's the whole vibe. A stash. It stashes. It holds onto your little options and your little data so somebody else can come along later and be like "hey, what was that thing?" and the stash is like "I got you 🫶". Iconic behaviour, no notes.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 6.040 — that's the one, that's the era we're in 💅

---

🐪 PERL VERSION 🐪

The way this module works on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Fr fr. Translation: any perl that dropped in the last two to three years is fair game.

So like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. Both of them. Slay.

⚠️ Now for the caveat, and I need you to actually listen: it may work on older perls too, but no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. And it can be increased for any reason — literally any. And there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. So don't come through with a "make it work on 5.8" PR and expect a warm welcome, bestie 😭
