Dist::Z...::Tester(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Tester — bestie, it's a testing-enabling stand-in for Dist::Zilla 🧚 Like, a fake Zilla that exists purely so you can test your stuff without the whole machine going feral.

(it lives in the Dist::Z...::Tester(3) manpage btw, under "User Contributed Perl Documentation" — very demure, very CPAN 💅)

💖 VERSION 💖

version 6.040 — she's got a number, she's got a vibe ✨

---

🦋 PERL VERSION 🦋

Okay so the tea on perl versions ☕:

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which, trans-lation? Any perl released in the last two to three years. So if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38. Slay, compatibility 🌈

But heads up bestie 💀 — it may work on older perls, but there is no guarantee that the minimum required version won't get bumped. 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 come for her, she said what she said 🙈
