NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Prepender - Prepend lines at the top of your perl files

VERSION

version 2.004

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

    [Prepender]
    copyright = 0
    line = use strict;
    line = use warnings;
    skip = t/data/.+\.pl
    skip = something-else-unnecessary

DESCRIPTION

This plugin will prepend the specified lines in each Perl module or program within the distribution. For scripts having a shebang line, lines will be inserted just after it.

This is useful to enforce a set of pragmas to your files (since pragmas are lexical, they will be active for the whole file), or to add some copyright comments, as the fsf recommends.

The module accepts the following options in its dist.ini section:

• copyright - whether to insert a boilerplate copyright comment. defaults to true.
• line - anything you want to add. may be specified multiple times. no default.
• skip - regexp of file names to not prepend to. may be specified multiple times. no default.
