dist::zilla::plugin::gatherdir

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GatherDir(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GatherDir(3pm)

NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::GatherDir - gather all the files in a directory

VERSION

       version 4.300020

DESCRIPTION

       This is a very, very simple FileGatherer plugin.  It looks in the directory named in the "root" attribute and adds all the files it finds
       there.  If the root begins with a tilde, the tilde is replaced with the current user's home directory according to File::HomeDir.

       Almost every dist will be built with one GatherDir plugin, since it's the easiest way to get files from disk into your dist.  Most users
       just need:

	 [GatherDir]

       ...and this will pick up all the files from the current directory into the dist.  You can use it multiple times, as you can any other
       plugin, by providing a plugin name.  For example, if you want to include external specification files into a subdir of your dist, you might
       write:

	 [GatherDir]
	 ; this plugin needs no config and gathers most of your files

	 [GatherDir / SpecFiles]
	 ; this plugin gets all the files in the root dir and adds them under ./spec
	 root	= ~/projects/my-project/spec
	 prefix = spec

ATTRIBUTES

   root
       This is the directory in which to look for files.  If not given, it defaults to the dist root -- generally, the place where your dist.ini
       or other configuration file is located.

   prefix
       This parameter can be set to gather all the files found under a common directory.  See the description above for an example.

   include_dotfiles
       By default, files will not be included if they begin with a dot.  This goes both for files and for directories relative to the "root".

       In almost all cases, the default value (false) is correct.

   follow_symlinks
       By default, directories that are symlinks will not be followed. Note on the other hand that in all followed directories, files which are
       symlinks are always gathered.

   exclude_filename
       To exclude certain files from being gathered, use the "exclude_filename" option. This may be used multiple times to specify multiple files
       to exclude.

   exclude_match
       This is just like "exclude_filename" but provides a regular expression pattern.	Files matching the pattern are not gathered.  This may be
       used multiple times to specify multiple patterns to exclude.
