Dist::Zilla::Role::Bootstrap This module is a role that aims to be consumed by plugins that want to perform some very early bootstrap operation that may affect the loading environment of successive plugins, especially with regards to plugins that may wish to build with themselves, either by consuming the source tree itself, or by consuming a previous built iteration. Implementation is quite simple: 1. "with" this role in your plugin with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::Bootstrap' 2. Implement the "bootstrap" sub. sub bootstrap { my ( $self ) = @_; } 3. *Optional*: Fetch the discovered "bootstap" root via: $self->_bootstap_root 4. *Optional*: Load some path into @INC via: $self->_add_inc($path) INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution.
