Dist::Zilla::Plugin::lib Dist::Zilla::Plugin::lib serves as a relatively straight-forward and uncomplicated way to wire certain local paths in your distributions source tree into Perl's @INC library load path. Its primary audiences are twofold. Self-Building Dist::Zilla Plugins Many recent Dist::Zilla plugin workflows champion a state of "lib/" which are usable "as is" without needing to cycle through a "dzil build" phase first, and this plugin offers a simple way to stash "lib/" in @INC without needing to pass "-Ilib" every time you run "dzil". Workflows that require a build cycle to self-build should use "[Bootstrap::lib]" instead. Bundled Dist::Zilla Plugins Many heavy "CPAN" distributions have bundled within them custom "Dist::Zilla" plugins stashed in "inc/" Traditionally, these are loaded via "[=inc::Foo::Package]" exploiting the long held assumption that "." ( $CWD ) is contained in @INC However, that is becoming a less safe assumption, and this plugin aims to make such equivalent behaviour practical without needing to rely on that assumption.
