NAME Dist::Zilla::Util::EmulatePhase - Nasty tools for probing Dist::Zilla's internal state. VERSION version 1.000002 METHODS deduplicate Internal utility that de-duplicates references by ref-addr alone. my $array = []; is_deeply( [ deduplicate( $array, $array ) ],[ $array ] ) expand_modname Internal utility to expand various shorthand notations to full ones. expand_modname('-MetaProvider') == 'Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider'; expand_modname('=MetaNoIndex') == 'Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaNoIndex'; get_plugins Probe Dist::Zilla's plugin registry and get items matching a specification my @plugins = get_plugins({ zilla => $self->zilla, with => [qw( -MetaProvider -SomethingElse )], skip_with => [qw( -SomethingBadThatIsAMetaProvider )], isa => [qw( =SomePlugin =SomeOtherPlugin )], skip_isa => [qw( =OurPlugin )], }); get_metadata Emulates Dist::Zilla's internal metadata aggregation and does it all again. Minimum Usage: my $metadata = get_metadata({ zilla => $self->zilla }); Extended usage: my $metadata = get_metadata({ $zilla = $self->zilla, ... more params to get_plugins ... ... ie: ... with => [qw( -MetaProvider )], isa => [qw( =MetaNoIndex )], }); get_prereqs Emulates Dist::Zilla's internal prereqs aggregation and does it all again. Minimum Usage: my $prereqs = get_prereqs({ zilla => $self->zilla }); Extended usage: my $metadata = get_prereqs({ $zilla = $self->zilla, ... more params to get_plugins ... ... ie: ... with => [qw( -PrereqSource )], isa => [qw( =AutoPrereqs )], }); AUTHOR Kent Fredric <kentnl@cpan.org> COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2014 by Kent Fredric <kentnl@cpan.org>.
