NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TemplateModule - a simple module-from-template plugin

VERSION

version 5.001

DESCRIPTION

This is a ModuleMaker used for creating new Perl modules files when minting a new dist with dzil new. It uses Text::Template (via Dist::Zilla::Role::TextTemplate) to render a template into a Perl module. The template is given two variables for use in rendering: $name, the module name; and $dist, the Dist::Zilla object. The module is always created as a file under ./lib.

By default, the template looks something like this:

use strict;
use warnings;
package {{ $name }};

1;

ATTRIBUTES

template

The template parameter may be given to the plugin to provide a different filename, absolute or relative to the build/profile directory.

If this parameter is not specified, this module will use the boilerplate module template included in this module.

MINTING CONFIGURATION

This module is part of the standard configuration of the default Dist::Zilla Minting Profile, and all profiles that don't set a custom ':DefaultModuleMaker' so you don't need to normally do anything to configure it.

dzil new Some::Module
# creates ./Some-Module/*
# creates ./Some-Module/lib/Some/Module.pm

However, for those who wish to configure this ( or any subclasses ) this is presently required:

[TemplateModule / :DefaultModuleMaker]
; template  = SomeFile.pm
