#pod
#pod This represents a file whose contents will be generated on demand from a
#pod callback or method name.

#pod coderef. When the file's C<content> method is called, the code is used to
#pod generate the content. This content is I<not> cached. It is recomputed every
#pod time the content is requested.

=head1 NAME
Dist::Zilla::File::FromCode - a file whose content is (re-)built on demand
=head1 VERSION
version 6.032
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This represents a file whose contents will be generated on demand from a
callback or method name.
It has one attribute, C<code>, which may be a method name (string) or a
coderef. When the file's C<content> method is called, the code is used to
generate the content. This content is I<not> cached. It is recomputed every
time the content is requested.
=head1 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.
