NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PruneFiles - prune arbitrary files from the dist

VERSION

version 5.012

SYNOPSIS

This plugin allows you to explicitly prune some files from your distribution. You can either specify the exact set of files (with the "filenames" parameter) or provide the regular expressions to check (using "match").

This is useful if another plugin (maybe a FileGatherer) adds a bunch of files, and you only want a subset of them.

In your dist.ini:

[PruneFiles]
filename = xt/release/pod-coverage.t ; pod coverage tests are for jerks
filename = todo-list.txt             ; keep our secret plans to ourselves

match     = ^test_data/*
match     = ^test.cvs$

ATTRIBUTES

filenames

This is an arrayref of filenames to be pruned from the distribution.

matches

This is an arrayref of regular expressions and files matching any of them, will be pruned from the distribution.
