Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Prereqs::SyncVersions This module exists to pose mostly as a workaround for potential bugs in downstream tool-chains. Namely, "CPAN.pm" is confused when it sees: runtime.requires : Foo >= 5.0 test.requires : Foo >= 6.0 It doesn't know what to do. This is an easy enough problem to solve if you're using "[Prereqs]" directly, and "[AutoPrereqs]" already does the right thing, but it gets messier when you're working with plugins that inject their own prerequisites So this plugin will homogenize dependencies to be the same version in all phases which infer the dependency, matching the largest one found, so the above becomes: runtime.requires : Foo >= 6.0 test.requires : Foo >= 6.0 INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution.
