💖 NAME 💖

Module::Install::Contributors — the lil plugin that slides an x_contributors section into your META.yml like it's adding your besties to the group chat ✨

Oh and btw, this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, so you already know it's the community's finest 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Bestie, you drop this right into your Makefile.PL:

contributors "Alan Smithee", "Nicolas Bourbaki <nic@math.example.fr>";
contributors "Spartacus <spartacus@example.it>";

That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so real talk: this is a plugin for Module::Install 🎀 What it does is add an x_contributors section to your META.yml file — and that section is an array of strings, which you should normally format as "Name <email>".

It hands exactly one function to your Module::Install-based Makefile.PLs:

• contributors(@names) — you feed it names, it collects them 🌈

And here's the part people get wrong, so listen up: repeated calls are cumulative 👑 Like, they stack. The example up in the SYNOPSIS has three contributors, not just Spartacus. Spartacus is not carrying this alone, no ma'am. 💀
