NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MinimumPerl - Detects the minimum version of Perl required for your dist

VERSION

  This document describes v1.006 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MinimumPerl - released October 31, 2014 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugin-MinimumPerl.

DESCRIPTION

This plugin uses Perl::MinimumVersion to automatically find the minimum version of Perl required for your dist and adds it to the prereqs.

        # In your dist.ini:
        [MinimumPerl]

ATTRIBUTES

perl

Specify a version of perl required for the dist. Please specify it in a format that Build.PL/Makefile.PL understands! If this is specified, this module will not attempt to automatically detect the minimum version of Perl.

The default is: undefined ( automatically detect it )

Example: 5.008008

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

The plugin uses FileFinders for finding files to scan. The predefined finders are listed in "default_finders" in Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser. You can define your own with the [FileFinder::ByName] and [FileFinder::Filter] plugins.

Additionally, all files whose encoding has been specified as bytes are omitted from consideration. (See [Encoding] for more information.)

Each prerequisite phase is configured separately:

runtime_finder

Finds files to scan for runtime prerequisites. The default value is :InstallModules and :ExecFiles (see also Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExecDir.

test_finder

Finds files to scan for test prerequisites. The default value is :TestFiles.

configure_finder

Finds files to scan for configure prerequisites. The default value is :IncModules.
