NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FakeRelease - fake plugin to test release

VERSION

       version 6.030

SYNOPSIS

           [FakeRelease]
           user = CPANAUTHORID ; # optional.

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin is a Releaser that does nothing. It is directed to plugin authors, who may
       need a dumb release plugin to test their shiny plugin implementing BeforeRelease and
       AfterRelease.

       When this plugin does the release, it will just log a message and finish.

       If you set the environment variable "DZIL_FAKERELEASE_FAIL" to a true value, the plugin
       will die instead of doing nothing. This can be useful for authors wanting to test reliably
       that release failed.

       You can optionally provide the 'user' parameter, which defaults to 'AUTHORID', which will
       allow things that depend on this metadata ( Sometimes provided by UploadToCPAN ) to still
       work.  ( For example: Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Twitter )

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.
