Dist::Zilla::Plugin::RecommendedPrereqs(3) Look for comments recommending prerequisites

VERSION

This document describes version 4.21 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::RecommendedPrereqs, released August 29, 2015 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugins-CJM version 4.27.

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:


[RecommendedPrereqs]

In your code:

  # RECOMMEND PREREQ: Foo::Bar 1.0
  # SUGGEST PREREQ:   Foo::Suggested

DESCRIPTION

If included, this plugin will look for special comments that specify suggested or recommended prerequisites. It's intended as a companion to AutoPrereqs, which can only determine required prerequisites.

Each comment must be on a line by itself, and begin with either "RECOMMEND PREREQ:" or "SUGGEST PREREQ:" followed by the module name. The name may be followed by the minimum version, which may in turn be followed by a note explaining the prereq (which will be ignored). If the note is present, the version must be present, even if it's 0.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The parser currently just looks for lines beginning with a "#" (which may be preceded by whitespace). This means it looks in strings and here docs, as well as after "__END__". This behavior may be fixed in the future and should not be depended on.
