NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Authority - Add the $AUTHORITY variable and metadata to your distribution

VERSION

This document describes v1.003 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Authority - released February 04, 2011 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugin-Authority.

DESCRIPTION

This plugin adds the authority data to your distribution. It adds the data to your modules and metadata. Normally it looks for the PAUSE author id in your Dist::Zilla configuration. If you want to override it, please use the 'authority' attribute.

# In your dist.ini:
[Authority]

This code will be added to any package declarations in your perl files:

BEGIN {
  $Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Authority::AUTHORITY = 'cpan:APOCAL';
}

Your metadata ( META.yml or META.json ) will have an entry looking like this:

x_authority => 'cpan:APOCAL'

ATTRIBUTES

authority

The authority you want to use. It should be something like cpan:APOCAL.

Defaults to the username set in the %PAUSE stash in the global config.ini or dist.ini ( Dist::Zilla v4 addition! )

If you prefer to not put it in config/dist.ini you can put it in "~/.pause" just like Dist::Zilla did before v4.

do_metadata

A boolean value to control if the authority should be added to the metadata.

Defaults to true.

do_munging

A boolean value to control if the $AUTHORITY variable should be added to the modules.

Defaults to true.
