Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Doppelgaenger - Creates an evil twin of a CPAN distribution

VERSION

version 0.008

SYNOPSIS

  [Doppelgaenger]
  source_module = Foo::Bar
  strip_pod = 1

DESCRIPTION

This Dist::Zilla plugin creates a new CPAN distribution with a new name based on the latest stable distribution of a source module.

Please do not do this without the permission of the authors or maintainers of the source.

If the Changes files is flagged to be updated, you must have {{$NEXT}} in your Changes files and use the NextRelease plugin. The source distribution will be added on a line in the Changes file after {{$NEXT}}. After release, your original Changes file might look something like this:

  0.001     2010-12-17 08:37:08 EST5EDT

    - Generated from AUTHOR/Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz

    - See https://metacpan.org/changes/release/AUTHOR/Foo-Bar-1.23 for details

If you strip Pod, you may with to explore replacing it with new Pod using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AppendExternalData plugin.

ATTRIBUTES

source_module (REQUIRED)

The name of a CPAN module to imitate. E.g. Foo::Bar

new_name

The new name to use in place of the source name. Defaults to the converted form of the distribution name.

cpan_mirror

This is a URI to a CPAN mirror. It must be an 'http' URI. Defaults to http://www.cpan.org/

strip_version

Boolean for whether any assignments to $VERSION should be stripped out of the source. This is a crude hack and acts by killing a line of code containing such assignments. This obviously may not work in all cases and should be used with caution. Default is false.

strip_pod

Boolean for whether Pod should be stripped when copying from source. Default is false.

changes_file

Name of change log file. Defaults to 'Changes'.

update_changes_file

Boolean for whether change log should be updated with the source distribution when built. Default is true.

exclude_filename

To exclude certain files from being gathered, use the exclude_filename option. This may be used multiple times to specify multiple files to exclude.

exclude_match

This is just like exclude_filename but provides a regular expression pattern. Files matching the pattern are not gathered. This may be used multiple times to specify multiple patterns to exclude.
