NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCommandOutput - Insert the output of command into your POD VERSION This document describes version 0.057 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCommandOutput (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-InsertCommandOutput), released on 2022-10-28. SYNOPSIS In dist.ini: [InsertCommandOutput] ;indent=4 ;include_command=0 ;substitute_template=0 In your POD: # COMMAND: netstat -anp DESCRIPTION This module finds "# COMMAND: ..." directives in your POD, pass it to the Perl's backtick operator, and insert the result into your POD as a verbatim paragraph (unless if you set "make_verbatim" to 0, in which case output will be inserted as-is). If command fails ($? is non-zero), build will be aborted. CONFIGURATION indent Uint. Default: 1. Number of spaces to indent each line of output with. Can be set to 0 to not indent at all. include_command Bool, default false. If set to true, will also show the command in the output. capture_stdout Bool, default true. capture_stderr Bool, default false. substitute_template Bool, default false. If set to true, will substitute some template variables in the command with their actual values: * [[prog]] The name of the program (guessed from the current filename, and in the actual command to execute will be quoted($^X) + " " + quoted(filename)). Empty if current filename is not a script. * [[module]] The name of the module (guessed from the current filename). Empty if current filename is not a module.

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertExample AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. 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, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. 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, 2021, 2019, 2018, 2015, 2014 by perlancar .
