NAME

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

VERSION

version 0.08

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 to OVERWRITE.

[version 0.08]

Will also add a diagnostic warning that will display when Makefile.PL or Build.PL is run, with a link to Alt to help de-confuse those unfamiliar with the Alt namespace.

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 the name isn't already set in your dist.ini by some other means, this plugin will set the name based on the Alt module. If you have more than one Alt module (which would be unusual) then it is an error unless you set the name by some other means.

CAVEATS

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