NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Alt - Create Alt distributions with Dist::Zilla

VERSION

version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

Your dist.ini:

[GatherDir]
[MakeMaker]
[Alt]

DESCRIPTION

This Dist::Zilla plugin can be added to an existing dist.ini file to turn your (or someone else's) distribution into an Alt distribution. What it does is:

Modifies Makefile.PL or Build.PL

Adds code to change the install location so that your dist won't be installed unless the environment variable PERL_ALT_INSTALL is set.

Updates the no_index meta

So that only .pm files in your lib directory that are in the Alt:: namespace will be indexed.

Sets the dist name property

If it isn't already specified in your dist.ini file. It will determine this from the Alt:: module in your distribution. If you have more than one Alt:: module it is an error.

CAVEATS

This plugin should appear in your dist.ini toward the end, or at least after your [GatherDir] and [MakeMaker] plugins (or equivalent).
