NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Metadata - Add arbitrary keys to distmeta

VERSION

This document describes version 6.000 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Metadata, released December 17, 2017 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugins-CJM version 6.000.

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

  [Metadata]
  dynamic_config              = 1
  resources.homepage          = http://example.com
  resources.bugtracker.mailto = bugs@example.com

DESCRIPTION

The Metadata plugin allows you to add arbitrary keys to your distribution's metadata.

It splits each key on '.' and uses that as a multi-level hash key. It doesn't try to do any validation; the MetaJSON or MetaYAML plugin will do that. It does know which keys in the spec are List values; those keys can be repeated. In addition, the custom key "x_contributors" is treated as a List.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Metadata requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Metadata requires Dist::Zilla (6 or later).

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.
