Dist::Z...:Authors(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for Dist::Z...:Authors(3) — the one and only Dist::Zilla::Role::Stash::Authors 💖 it's a stash that provides a list of author strings. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 6.040 ✨ (yes queen, that's the one)

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

so here's the tea: an Authors stash must provide an "authors" method 📝 and that method returns an arrayref of author strings — generally in the form "Name <email>" 🎀

that's it. that's the contract. it's giving "small role, big responsibility" 👑

🧚 PERL VERSION 🧚

okay so this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters 🫶 which literally means it should work on 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 ⭐

lowkey important though: even though it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is 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. fr fr. read that twice.
