NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Doppelgaenger - Creates an evil twin of a CPAN distribution VERSION version 0.008 SYNOPSIS [Doppelgaenger] source_module = Foo::Bar strip_pod = 1 DESCRIPTION This Dist::Zilla plugin creates a new CPAN distribution with a new name based on the latest stable distribution of a source module. Please do not do this without the permission of the authors or maintainers of the source.

The source distribution will be added on a line in the Changes file after "{{$NEXT}}".

Defaults to "http://www.cpan.org/" strip_version Boolean for whether any assignments to $VERSION should be stripped out of the source.

Defaults to 'Changes'. update_changes_file Boolean for whether change log should be updated with the source distribution when built.
