Dist::Zilla::Types(3)

💖 Dist::Zilla::Types(3) 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for Dist::Zilla::Types — part of the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and the 🌟 main character 🌟 of this whole page is its dzil-specific type library. Let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Dist::Zilla::Types — the dzil-specific type library, no cap 🎀

---

🦋 VERSION 🦋

version 6.040 — that's the one, that's the vibe 💅

---

🌸 OVERVIEW 🌸

so this library hands you MooseX::Types types that Dist::Zilla uses. That's literally its whole job 🫶

🚨 real talk though: these types are not (yet?) for public consumption, and you should not rely on them. Like, do not build your whole thing on them, bestie, they are not yours like that 😭

Also important: Dist::Zilla uses a bunch of types that live over in MooseX::Types::Perl. So maybe that's the one you actually want 👀✨

---

🐧 PERL VERSION 🐧

This module is built to work on any version of perl that's still getting updates from the Perl 5 Porters. Which basically means: any 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 tbh 🌈

Now, could it work on older perls? Sure, maybe! 🙈 but no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version can get bumped for any reason, and there is no promise that patches to lower the minimum required perl will be accepted. it's giving "we said what we said" 💀
