NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::StaticVersion - Specify version number manually, using a plugin

VERSION

version 0.103521

SYNOPSIS

In a plugin bundle:

package Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::SomePlugins;
use Moose;
with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginBundle::Easy';
sub configure {
    ...
    $self->add_plugins(
        ['StaticVersion' => { version => "1.14.3" } ],
    );
    ...
}

In dist.ini:

[StaticVersion]
version = 1.14.3

which is equivalent to:

version = 1.14.3

DESCRIPTION

This purpose of this plugin is to allow plugin bundles or other such things to specify a specific version number. This allows one to write a pluginbundle that decides based on its configuration whether to offer a specific version number. You could not otherwise do this, because a static version number is specified before any plugins in dist.ini.

You shouldn't need to use this plugin directly in your dist.ini.

METHODS

provide_version

This method simply offers the specified version. If the specified version is false (e.g. empty string), it will not be offered.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
