Re^3: Dancer2 Module for Generating HTML from markdown

"Now I can get complaints from people who only like pure perl modules."

Nah, just from those who don't like having to install Dist::Zilla and a thousand plugins for installation ;)

ps. I'm not knocking Dist::Zilla, I just personally find that it adds a ton of bloat to more-often-than-not a very small distribution.

Hi Steve, I think you are suffering from (and spreading) the common misunderstanding that Dist::Zilla is distributed with the distributions it is used to build. Dist::Zilla is simply a distribution-building and -packaging tool, designed for CPAN, and the distributions it builds are simply conformant CPAN distros. No bloat whatsoever, unless you count a `dist.ini` file that's sometimes left in the distro. Here's the entire `MANIFEST` from Dancer2::Logger::LogAny, which is packaged and distributed with `Dist::Zilla`: `# This file was automatically generated by Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Manife +st v6.010. Changes LICENSE MANIFEST META.json META.yml Makefile.PL README.md cpanfile example/README example/app.pl example/config.yml lib/Dancer2/Logger/LogAny.pm t/00-load.t t/config.yml t/logger.t xt/pod-coverage.t` [download] Installers of this module have no need of `Dist::Zilla` or its dependencies. (And note that the source repo only has two extra files, a couple of `.ini` config files. (What you may be recalling is the pain a developer can feel when wanting to contribute to a distribution that is packaged with `Dist::Zilla`, when you have to have it installed to see that your changes lead to a correct build.) Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You can only pry Dist::Zilla from my cold, dead hands. $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar"; $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF; Click here if you love Perl Monks	[reply]
