FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze a dist.ini file to find which Dist::Zilla plugins are configured?▼

To analyze a dist.ini file for Dist::Zilla plugins, the Skill parses and processes the configuration to identify plugin bundles and their settings. It extracts structured metadata to reveal the bundle structure and key configuration details.

What does a Dist::Zilla plugin bundle map to in a CPAN distribution?▼

A Dist::Zilla plugin bundle in a CPAN distribution maps to specific configuration sections and embedded plugins. Analyzing the dist.ini reveals these plugin relationships and settings to support release readiness and project auditing.

Can I use this to audit Dist::Zilla configuration across multiple Perl projects?▼

Yes, you can audit Dist::Zilla configuration across multiple Perl projects. The Skill applies consistent discovery semantics across CPAN-style distributions to recognize common sections, bundle structures, and plugin relationships in varied setups.

How do I extract structured metadata from a dist.ini configuration?▼

To extract structured metadata from a dist.ini configuration, the Skill parses the file and identifies defined frontmatter fields. This process satisfies structured metadata extraction from dist.ini with consistent discovery semantics.

What is the best way to verify Dist::Zilla bundle dependencies in a Perl project?▼

The best way to verify Dist::Zilla bundle dependencies is to run a dist.ini analysis. This quickly extracts the bundle structure and maps the configuration to show which plugins belong to a bundle and what dependencies they specify.
