NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCodeOutput - Insert the output of Perl code into your POD VERSION This document describes version 0.046 of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCodeOutput (from Perl distribution Dist-Zilla-Plugin-InsertCodeOutput), released on 2023-12-11. SYNOPSIS In dist.ini: [InsertCodeOutput] ;make_verbatim=1 In your POD: # CODE: require MyLib; MyLib::gen_stuff("some", "param"); or for multiline code: # BEGIN_CODE require MyLib; MyLib::gen_stuff("some", "param"); ... # END_CODE (you can prefix each line in multiline code with comment, to prevent this code from being analyzed by other analyzers e.g. scan_prereqs): # BEGIN_CODE #require MyLib; #MyLib::gen_stuff("some", "param"); #... # END_CODE DESCRIPTION This module finds "# CODE: ..." or "# BEGIN_CODE" and "# END CODE" directives in your POD, evals the specified Perl code while capturing the output using Capture::Tiny's "capture_merged" (which means STDOUT and STDERR output are both captured), and insert the output to your POD as verbatim paragraph (indented with a whitespace), unless when "make_verbatim" is set to 0 then it is inserted as-is. If eval fails ($@ is true), build will be aborted. The directives must be at the first column of the line. HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at . SEE ALSO Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCodeResult which is similar and uses the same "# CODE" directive, but instead of inserting output, will insert the result of the code (which can be a reference, in which case will be dumped using Data::Dump). Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCommandOutput Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertExample AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTOR Steven Haryanto CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2023, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2015, 2014 by perlancar .
