NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PruneFiles - prune arbitrary files from the dist

VERSION

       version 6.025

SYNOPSIS

       This plugin allows you to explicitly prune some files from your distribution. You can
       either specify the exact set of files (with the "filenames" parameter) or provide the
       regular expressions to check (using "match").

       This is useful if another plugin (maybe a FileGatherer) adds a bunch of files, and you
       only want a subset of them.

       In your dist.ini:

         [PruneFiles]
         filename = xt/release/pod-coverage.t ; pod coverage tests are for jerks
         filename = todo-list.txt             ; keep our secret plans to ourselves

         match     = ^test_data/
         match     = ^test.cvs$

PERL VERSION

       This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5
       Porters.  This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to
       three years.  (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module
       should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

       Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum
       required version will not be increased.  The version may be increased for any reason, and
       there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

   filenames
       This is an arrayref of filenames to be pruned from the distribution.

   matches
       This is an arrayref of regular expressions and files matching any of them, will be pruned
       from the distribution.
