CONTRIBUTING Thank you for considering contributing to this distribution. This file contains instructions that will help you work with the source code. PLEASE NOTE that if you have any questions or difficulties, you can reach me through the bug queue described later in this document (preferred), or by emailing me directly. You are not required to follow any of the steps in this document to submit a patch or bug report; these are just recommendations, intended to help you (and help me help you faster). The distribution is managed with Dist::Zilla (https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla). This means than many of the usual files you might expect are not in the repository, but are generated at release time (e.g. Makefile.PL). However, you can run tests directly using the 'prove' tool: $ prove -l $ prove -lv t/some_test_file.t $ prove -lvr t/ In most cases, 'prove' is entirely sufficent for you to test any patches you have. You may need to satisfy some dependencies. The easiest way to satisfy dependencies is to install the last release -- this is available at https://metacpan.org/release/namespace-autoclean. If you use cpanminus, you can do it without downloading the tarball first: $ cpanm --reinstall --installdeps --with-recommends namespace::autoclean Dist::Zilla is a very powerful authoring tool, but requires a number of author-specific plugins. If you would like to use it for contributing, install it from CPAN, then run one of the following commands, depending on your CPAN client: $ cpan `dzil authordeps --missing` or $ dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm You should then also install any additional requirements not needed by the dzil build but may be needed by tests or other development: $ cpan `dzil listdeps --author --missing` or $ dzil listdeps --author --missing | cpanm Or, you can use the 'dzil stale' command to install all requirements at once: $ cpan Dist::Zilla::App::Command::stale $ cpan `dzil stale --all` or $ cpanm Dist::Zilla::App::Command::stale $ dzil stale --all | cpanm You can also do this via cpanm directly: $ cpanm --reinstall --installdeps --with-develop --with-recommends namespace::autoclean Once installed, here are some dzil commands you might try: $ dzil build $ dzil test $ dzil test --release $ dzil xtest $ dzil listdeps --json $ dzil build --notgz You can learn more about Dist::Zilla at http://dzil.org/. The code for this distribution is hosted at GitHub. The repository is: https://github.com/moose/namespace-autoclean You can submit code changes by forking the repository, pushing your code changes to your clone, and then submitting a pull request. Detailed instructions for doing that is available here: https://help.github.com/ https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request If you have found a bug, but do not have an accompanying patch to fix it, you can submit an issue report here: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=namespace-autoclean or via bug-namespace-autoclean@rt.cpan.org. This is a good place to send your questions about the usage of this distribution. If you send me a patch or pull request, your name and email address will be included in the documentation as a contributor (using the attribution on the commit or patch), unless you specifically request for it not to be. If you wish to be listed under a different name, you should submit a pull request to the .mailmap file to contain the correct mapping.
