Dist::Zilla::Prereqs \- the prerequisites of a Dist::Zilla distribution

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Dist::Zilla::Prereqs is a subcomponent of Dist::Zilla.  The \f(CW\*(C`prereqs\*(C'\fR
attribute on your Dist::Zilla object is a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object, and is
responsible for keeping track of the distribution's prerequisites.
.PP
In fact, a Dist::Zilla::Prereqs object is just a thin layer over a
CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object, stored in the \f(CW\*(C`cpan_meta_prereqs\*(C'\fR attribute.
.PP
Almost everything this object does is proxied to the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs
object, so you should really read how \fIthat\fR works.
.PP
Dist::Zilla::Prereqs proxies the following methods to the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs
object:
.IP "\(bu" 4
finalize
.IP "\(bu" 4
is_finalized
.IP "\(bu" 4
requirements_for
.IP "\(bu" 4
as_string_hash

\&  $prereqs\->register_prereqs(%prereqs);
\&
\&  $prereqs\->register_prereqs(\e%arg, %prereqs);
.Ve
.PP
This method adds new minimums to the prereqs object.  If a hashref is the first
arg, it may have entries for \f(CW\*(C`phase\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`type\*(C'\fR to indicate what kind of
prereqs are being registered.  (For more information on phase and type, see
CPAN::Meta::Spec.)  For example, you might say:
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  $prereqs\->register_prereqs(
\&    { phase => \*(Aqtest\*(Aq, type => \*(Aqrecommends\*(Aq },
\&    \*(AqTest::Foo\*(Aq => \*(Aq1.23\*(Aq,
\&    \*(AqXML::YZZY\*(Aq => \*(Aq2.01\*(Aq,
\&  );
.Ve
.PP
If not given, phase and type default to runtime and requires, respectively.
