NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Prereqs - list simple prerequisites

VERSION

       version 5.008

SYNOPSIS

       In your dist.ini:

         [Prereqs]
         Foo::Bar = 1.002
         MRO::Compat = 10
         Sub::Exporter = 0

       You can specify requirements for different phases and relationships with:

         [Prereqs]
         -phase = test
         -relationship = recommends

         Fitz::Fotz    = 1.23
         Text::SoundEx = 3

       Remember that if you load two Prereqs plugins, each will needs its own name, added like
       this:

         [Prereqs / PluginName]
         -phase = test
         -relationship = recommends

         Fitz::Fotz    = 1.23
         Text::SoundEx = 3

       If the name is the CamelCase concatenation of a phase and relationship (or just a
       relationship), it will set those parameters implicitly.  If you use a custom name, but it
       does not specify the relationship, and you didn't specify either "-phase" or
       "-relationship", it throws the error "No -phase or -relationship specified".  This is to
       prevent a typo that makes the name meaningless from slipping by unnoticed.

       The example below is equivalent to the example above, except for the name of the resulting
       plugin:

         [Prereqs / TestRecommends]
         Fitz::Fotz    = 1.23
         Text::SoundEx = 3

DESCRIPTION

       This module adds "fixed" prerequisites to your distribution.  These are prereqs with a
       known, fixed minimum version that doesn't change based on platform or other conditions.

       You can specify prerequisites for different phases and kinds of relationships.  In
       "RuntimeRequires", the phase is Runtime and the relationship is Requires.  These are
       described in more detail in the CPAN::Meta specification.

       The phases are:

       ·   configure

       ·   build

       ·   test

       ·   runtime

       ·   develop

       The relationship types are:

       ·   requires

       ·   recommends

       ·   suggests

       ·   conflicts

       If the phase is omitted, it will default to runtime; thus, specifying "Prereqs /
       Recommends" in your dist.ini is equivalent to RuntimeRecommends.

       Not all of these phases are useful for all tools, especially tools that only understand
       version 1.x CPAN::Meta files.
