Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GatherDir::Template(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GatherDir::Template - gather all the files in a directory and use them as templates

VERSION
version 6.017

DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of the GatherDir plugin. It works just like its parent class, except that each gathered file is processed through Text::Template.

The variables $plugin and $dist will be provided to the template, set to the GatherDir::Template plugin and the Dist::Zilla object, respectively.

It is meant to be used when minting dists with "dzil new", but could be used in building existing dists, too.

ATTRIBUTES

  rename
Use this to rename files while they are being gathered. This is a list of key/value pairs, specified thus:

    [GatherDir::Template]
    rename.DISTNAME = $dist->name =~ s/...//r
    rename.DISTVER  = $dist->version

This example will replace the tokens "DISTNAME" and "DISTVER" with the expressions they are associated with. These expressions will be treated as though they were miniature Text::Template sections, and hence will receive the same variables that the file itself receives, i.e. $dist and $plugin.
