NAME Dist::Zilla::Role::RequireFromBuild - Role to require() from build files VERSION This document describes version 0.007 of Dist::Zilla::Role::RequireFromBuild (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Role-RequireFromBuild), released on 2022-02-19. SYNOPSIS In your plugin's preamble, include the role: with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::RequireFromBuild'; Then in your plugin subroutine, e.g. "munge_files()": $self->require_from_build("Foo/Bar.pm"); $self->require_from_build("Baz::Quux"); DESCRIPTION Since build files are not necessarily on-disk files, but might also be in-memory files or files with munged content, we cannot use "require()" directly. "require_from_build()" is like Perl's "require()" except it looks for files not from @INC but from build files "$self->zilla->files". It searches libraries in "lib/" and ".". "$self->require_from_build("Foo/Bar.pm")" or "$self->require_from_build("Foo::Bar")" is a convenient shortcut for something like: return if exists $INC{"Foo/Bar.pm"}; my @files = grep { $_->name eq "lib/Foo/Bar.pm" } @{ $self->zilla->files }; @files = grep { $_->name eq "Foo/Bar.pm" } @{ $self->zilla->files } unless @files; die "Can't find Foo/Bar.pm in lib/ or ./ in build files" unless @files; eval $files[0]->encoded_content; die if $@; $INC{"Foo/Bar.pm"} = "(set by Dist::Zilla::Role::RequireFromBuild, loaded from build file)"; PROVIDED METHODS $obj->require_from_build( [ \%opts , ] $file) Known options: * reload Bool. Optional, default false. If set to true, will reload the module even if it's already loaded. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at .

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2017 by perlancar .
