Dist::Zilla::Role::Plugin(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::Plugin - something that gets plugged in to Dist::Zilla

VERSION
version 6.037

DESCRIPTION
The Plugin role should be applied to all plugin classes. It provides a few key methods and attributes that all plugins will need.

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

  plugin_name
The plugin name is generally determined when configuration is read.

  zilla
This attribute contains the Dist::Zilla object into which the plugin was plugged.

METHODS

  log
The plugin's "log" method delegates to the Dist::Zilla object's "log" in Dist::Zilla method after including a bit of argument-munging.
