NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Author::Plicease::SpecialPrereqs - Special prereq handling

VERSION

version 2.00

SYNOPSIS

[Author::Plicease::SpecialPrereqs]

DESCRIPTION

Some older versions of modules have problematic for various reasons (at least in the context of how I use them). This plugin will upgrade those prereqs to appropriate version if they are 0, meaning any version.

Some modules are recommended if certain modules are already prerequisites. For example, XS modules may be recommended if otherwise pure perl modules will optionally use them.

This plugin also enforces that releases are not done on Perl 5.8 or MSWin32.

This plugin also adds a preface to your Makefile.PL or Build.PL to test the Perl version in a way that will not throw an exception, instead calling exit, so that they will not be reported on cpantesters as failures. This plugin should be the last Dist::Zilla::Role::InstallTool plugin in your dist.ini.
