Dist::Zilla::App::Command::critic "critic" is an "App::Command" for "Dist::Zilla" which streamlines running "Perl::Critic" on your built distribution. This competes with the likes of "[Test::Perl::Critic]" by: * not requiring the rest of the steps in the test life-cycle to execute. * not being impeded by the other tests cluttering your output. * not suffering the limitations of "Test::Perl::Critic" which discards profile color settings. * carefully formatting output to give a clearer visualization of where failures lie. * not requiring your dist have a "Test::Perl::Critic" test pass for release. * not requiring your dist to have any explicit "Perl::Critic" consumption. Behaviorally: dzil critic Behaves very similar to: dzil run --no-build perlcritic -p perlcritic.rc lib/ Except with improved verbosity of file name reporting.
