NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PrereqsFile - Add arbitrary metadata using a mergefile

VERSION

version 0.003

SYNOPSIS

dist.ini:

[PrereqsFile]

prereqs.yml

runtime:
  recommends:
    Foo: 0.023
  suggests:
    Bar: 0

DESCRIPTION

This plugin implements prereq files. These allow you to easily add arbitrary prerequisites to your metafiles.

Why metamerge files?

Prereq files are somewhat similar to cpanfiles, but with an important difference. They don't involve evaluating code to produce data, data should be data.

Names and formats

This file reads either a JSON formatted prereqs.json, and/or a YAML formatted prereqs.yml (or another file if passed with the filename parameter). Regardless of the format, it will parse them as META 2.0 prereqs.
