  run = script/do_this.pl --version %s
  run = script/do_that_crashy_thing.pl
  eval = if ($ENV{SOMETHING}) {
  eval =   $_[0]->log('some message')
  eval = }

  [Run::BeforeRelease]
  run = script/myapp_before1.pl %s
  run = script/myapp_before2.pl %n %v
  run_no_trial = script/no_execution_on_trial.pl %n %v

  [Run::Release]
  run = script/myapp_deploy1.pl %s
  run = deployer.pl --dir %d --tgz %a --name %n --version %v
  run_no_trial = script/no_execution_on_trial.pl --dir %d --tgz %a --name %n --version %v

  [Run::AfterRelease]
  run = script/myapp_after.pl --archive %s --version %s
  ; %p can be used as the path separator if you have contributors on a different OS
  run = script%pmyapp_after.pl --archive %s --version %s

  [Run::AfterRelease / MyAppAfter]
  run = script/myapp_after.pl --archive %s --version %s

  [Run::Test]
  run = script/tester.pl --name %n --version %v some_file.ext
  run_if_release = ./Build install

  [Run::AfterMint]
  run = some command %d
  eval = unlink scratch.dat
  eval = print "I just minted %n for you. Have a nice day!\n";

DESCRIPTION

Run arbitrary commands and code at various Dist::Zilla phases.

PARAMETERS

run

Run the specific command at the specific Dist::Zilla phase given by the plugin. For example, [Run::Release] runs during the release phase.

run_no_trial

Only run the given command if this isn't a trial build or release.

run_if_trial

Only run the given command if this is a trial build or release.

run_if_release

Only run the given command if this is a release.

run_no_release

Only run a given command if this isn't a release.

eval (EXPERIMENTAL)

Treats the input as a list of lines of Perl code; the code is evaluated at the specific Dist::Zilla phase given by the plugin. The code is executed in its own eval scope, within a subroutine body; @_ contains the instance of the plugin executing the code. (Remember that shift in an eval actually operates on @ARGV, not @_, so to access the plugin instance, use $_[0].)

censor_commands

Normally, run* commands are included in distribution metadata when used with the [MetaConfig] plugin. To bypass this, set censor_commands = 1. Additionally, this command is set to true automatically when a URL with embedded password is present.

Defaults to false.

fatal_errors

When true, if the run command returns a non-zero exit status or the eval command dies, the build will fail. Defaults to true.

CONVERSIONS

The following conversions/format specifiers are defined for passing as arguments to the specified commands and eval strings (though not all values are available at all phases).

• %a the archive of the release (available to all *Release phases)

• %d the directory in which the dist was built (or minted) (not in BeforeBuild)

• %n the dist name

• %p path separator ('/' on Unix, '\\' on Win32... useful for cross-platform dist.ini files)

• %v the dist version

• %t -TRIAL if the release is a trial release, otherwise the empty string

• %x full path to the current perl interpreter (like $^X but from Config)

Additionally %s is retained for backward compatibility. Each occurrence is replaced by a different value (like the regular sprintf function). Individual plugins define their own values for the positional replacement of %s.
