NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinder - something that finds files within the distribution

VERSION

       version 6.030

DESCRIPTION

       A FileFinder plugin locates files within the distribution.  This role exists so that sets
       of files can be easily described in one configuration section and then used by one or more
       other plugin.

       Plugins implementing this role must provide a "find_files" method which will be called
       with no arguments and must return an arrayref of files.  (This arrayref should not be re-
       used, as it may be altered once returned.)

       For example, imagine a simple glob-like FileFinder that expects configuration like this:

         [Glob / RootModules]
         glob = *.pm

       This sets up a FileFinder named "RootModules" which will contain all pm files in the root
       directory.

       Another plugin that knows how to use FileFinder plugins might be configured like this:

         [ModuleRelocator]
         finder = RootModules
         relocate_to = attic

       Finders may operate on any rules they like, checking file size, content, name, or other
       properties.  They should re-perform their "finding" on each call to "find_files" as the
       files in the distribution may have changed.

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.
