SYNOPSIS In your dist.ini: [Extras] foo = 1 bar = 2 [Extras / Baz] qux = 1 quux = 2 DESCRIPTION This plugin lets you specify extra parameters in your dist.ini under the [Extras] section. Other than that it does nothing. It basically serves as "bags" to put parameters in. One use-case of this is to put template variables in your dist.ini, e.g.: [Extras] name1 = value1 name2 = value2 The parameters are available for other plugins through $zilla (Dist::Zilla object), e.g.: my $extras_plugin = grep { $_->plugin_name eq 'Extras' } $zilla->plugins; my $name1 = $extras_plugin->params->{name1}; # -> "value1" Another use-case of this is to put stuffs to be processed by other software aside from Dist::Zilla (e.g. see App::LintPrereqs).
