NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaNoIndex - Stop CPAN from indexing stuff

VERSION

version 6.012

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini: 

  [MetaNoIndex]

  directory = t/author
  directory = examples

  file = lib/Foo.pm

  package = My::Module

  namespace = My::Module

DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows you to prevent PAUSE/CPAN from indexing files you don't want indexed. This is useful if you build test classes or example classes that are used for those purposes only, and are not part of the distribution. It does this by adding a "no_index" block to your META.json (or META.yml) file in your distribution.

ATTRIBUTES

directories

Exclude folders and everything in them, for example: author.t

Aliases: "folder", "dir", "directory"

files

Exclude a specific file, for example: lib/Foo.pm

Alias: "file"

packages

Exclude by package name, for example: "My::Package"

Aliases: "class", "module", "package"

namespaces

Exclude everything under a specific namespace, for example: "My::Package"

Alias: "namespace"

NOTE: This will not exclude the package "My::Package", only everything under it like "My::Package::Foo".

METHODS

metadata

Returns a reference to a hash containing the distribution's no_index metadata.
