NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaProvides::Package - Extract namespaces/version from traditional packages for
       provides

VERSION

       version 2.004003

SYNOPSIS

       In your "dist.ini":

           [MetaProvides::Package]

           ; This is the (optional) default: This forces any package versions
           ; added in the "provides" metadata to use the 'version'
           ; specified by dzil.
           ;
           ; Set it to 0 to force packages own versions to be respected. ( You probably don't want this )
           inherit_version = 1

           ; This is also the (optional) default: This forces any package without
           ; a version declaration to use the 'version' specified by default.
           ;
           ; Set it to 0 to allow packages to have no versions
           inherit_missing = 1

           ; This is the (optional) default: This being true discovers any [MetaNoIndex]
           ; plugins to also further exclude packages from the provides map.
           ;
           ; Set it to 0 if for some weird reason you don't want this.
           meta_noindex    = 1

           ; This is the (optional) default: Packages named _Foo::Bar or Foo::_Bar are not indexed.
           ; Set this to 1 to enable indexing of similarly named packages.
           include_underscores = 0

DESCRIPTION

       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.

CONSUMED ROLES

   Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider::Provider

ROLE SATISFYING METHODS

   "provides"
       A conformant function to the Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider::Provider Role.

       signature: $plugin->provides()

       returns: Array of Dist::Zilla::MetaProvides::ProvideRecord

ATTRIBUTES

   "include_underscores"
       This attribute controls automatic skipping of packages.

       By default, "MetaProvides::Package" skips packages matching the following regular expression:

         qr/(\A|::)_/

       Setting this attribute to a "true" value will avoid skipping these packages.

       This feature was added in "2.004001-TRIAL"

   "finder"
       This attribute, if specified will

       •   Override the "FileFinder" used to find files containing packages

       •   Inhibit autovivification of the ".pm" file finder

       This parameter may be specified multiple times to aggregate a list of finders

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM Dist::Zilla::Role::MetaProvider::Provider

   "inherit_version"
       How do you want existing versions ( Versions hard-coded into files before running this plug-in )to be
       processed?

       •   DEFAULT: inherit_version = 1

           Ignore anything you find in a file, and just probe "DZIL->version()" for a value. This is a sane
           default and most will want this.

       •   inherit_version = 0

           Use this option if you actually want to use hard-coded values in your files and use the versions
           parsed out of them.

   "inherit_missing"
       In the event you are using the aforementioned ""inherit_version" = 0", this determines how to behave when
       encountering a module with no version defined.

       •   DEFAULT: inherit_missing = 1

           When a module has no version, probe "DZIL->version()" for an answer. This is what you want if you
           want to have some files with fixed versions, and others to just automatically be maintained by
           Dist::Zilla.

       •   inherit_missing = 0

           When a module has no version, emit a versionless record in the final metadata.

   "meta_noindex"
       This is a utility for people who are also using "MetaNoIndex", so that its settings can be used to
       eliminate items from the 'provides' list.

       •   meta_noindex = 0

           With this set, any "MetaNoIndex" plugins are ignored.

       •   DEFAULT: meta_noindex = 1

           When a module meets the criteria provided to "MetaNoIndex", eliminate it from the metadata shipped to
           Dist::Zilla.
