Dist::Zilla::App::Command::listdeps(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::listdeps - print your distribution's prerequisites

VERSION
version 6.037

SYNOPSIS
  $ dzil listdeps | cpan

DESCRIPTION
This is a command plugin for Dist::Zilla. It provides the "listdeps" command, which prints your distribution's prerequisites. You could pipe that list to a CPAN client like cpan to install all of the dependencies in one quick go.

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.

  --versions

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This code was originally more or less a direct copy of Marcel Gruenauer (hanekomu) Dist::Zilla::App::Command::prereqs, updated to work with the Dist::Zilla v2 API.
