Dist::Zilla::Role::PrereqScanner(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::PrereqScanner - automatically extract prereqs from your modules

VERSION
version 6.037

PERL VERSION
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although 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.

ATTRIBUTES

  finder
This is the name of a FileFinder whose files will be scanned to determine runtime prerequisites. It may be specified multiple times. The default value is ":InstallModules" and ":ExecFiles".

  test_finder
Just like "finder", but for test-phase prerequisites. The default value is ":TestFiles".

  configure_finder
Just like "finder", but for configure-phase prerequisites. There is no default value; AutoPrereqs will not determine configure-phase prerequisites unless you set configure_finder.

  develop_finder
Just like <finder>, but for develop-phase prerequisites. The default value is ":ExtraTestFiles".

  skips
This is an arrayref of regular expressions, derived from all the 'skip' lines in the configuration. Any module names matching any of these regexes will not be registered as prerequisites.

CREDITS
The role was provided by Olivier Mengué (DOLMEN) and Philippe Bruhat (BOOK) at Perl QA Hackathon 2016 (but it is just a refactor of the AutoPrereqs plugin).
