NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PERLANCAR::Authority - Add the $AUTHORITY variable and metadata to your distribution VERSION This document describes version 0.001 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PERLANCAR::Authority (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-PERLANCAR-Authority), released on 2020-08-10. DESCRIPTION Fork note: This plugin is a fork of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Authority. When PAUSE credential is not found, this plugin will set $AUTHORITY to "cpan:" instead of bailing out. TODO: bail if PAUSE credentials is not found and we are doing a release (instead of just 'dzil test' or 'dzil build'). The rest is Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Authority's documentation. This plugin adds the authority data to your distribution. It adds the data to your modules and metadata. Normally it looks for the PAUSE author id in your Dist::Zilla configuration. If you want to override it, please use the 'authority' attribute. # In your dist.ini: [Authority] This code will be added to any package declarations in your perl files: our $AUTHORITY = 'cpan:APOCAL'; Your metadata ( META.yml or META.json ) will have an entry looking like this: x_authority => 'cpan:APOCAL' ATTRIBUTES authority The authority you want to use. It should be something like "cpan:APOCAL". Defaults to the username set in the %PAUSE stash in the global config.ini or dist.ini ( Dist::Zilla v4 addition! ) If you prefer to not put it in config/dist.ini you can put it in "~/.pause" just like Dist::Zilla did before v4. do_metadata A boolean value to control if the authority should be added to the metadata. Defaults to true. do_munging A boolean value to control if the $AUTHORITY variable should be added to the modules. Defaults to true. locate_comment A boolean value to control if the $AUTHORITY variable should be added where a "# AUTHORITY" comment is found. If this is set then an appropriate comment is found, and "our $AUTHORITY = 'cpan:PAUSEID';" is inserted preceding the comment on the same line. This basically implements what OurPkgVersion does for PkgVersion. Defaults to false. NOTE: If you use this method, then we will not use the pkg style of declaration! That way, we keep the line numbering consistent. authority_style A value to control the type of the $AUTHORITY declaration. There are two styles: 'pkg' or 'our'. In the past this module defaulted to the 'pkg' style but due to various issues 'our' is now the default. Here's what both styles would look like in the resulting code: # pkg BEGIN { $Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Authority::AUTHORITY = 'cpan:APOCAL'; } # our our $AUTHORITY = 'cpan:APOCAL'; HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
