Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaProvides::Package This is a "Dist::Zilla" Plugin that populates the "provides" property of "META.json" and "META.yml" by absorbing it from your shipped modules, in a manner similar to how "PAUSE" itself does it. This allows you to easily create an authoritative index of what module provides what version in advance of "PAUSE" indexing it, which "PAUSE" in turn will take verbatim. INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution. It should be installed with whichever tool you use to manage your installation of Perl, e.g. any of cpanm . cpan . cpanp -i . Consult http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html for further instruction. Should you wish to install this module manually, the procedure is perl Makefile.PL make make test make install COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2016 by Kent Fredric .
