CONTRIBUTING Thank you for considering contributing to this distribution. This file contains instructions that will help you work with the source code. The distribution is managed with Dist::Zilla (https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla). This means than many of the usual files you might expect are not in the repository, but are generated at release time (e.g. Makefile.PL). However, you can run tests directly using the 'prove' tool: $ prove -l $ prove -lv t/some_test_file.t $ prove -lvr t/ In most cases, 'prove' is entirely sufficent for you to test any patches you have. You may need to satisfy some dependencies. The easiest way to satisfy dependencies is to install the last release -- this is available at https://metacpan.org/release/Devel-REPL. If you use cpanminus, you can do it without downloading the tarball first: $ cpanm --reinstall --installdeps --with-recommends Devel::REPL Dist::Zilla is a very powerful authoring tool, but requires a number of author-specific plugins. If you would like to use it for contributing, install it from CPAN, then run one of the following commands, depending on your CPAN client: $ cpan `dzil authordeps --missing` or $ dzil authordeps --missing | cpanm You should then also install any additional requirements not needed by the dzil build but may be needed by tests or other development: $ cpan `dzil listdeps --author --missing` or $ dzil listdeps --author --missing | cpanm Or, you can use the 'dzil stale' command to install all requirements at once: $ cpan Dist::Zilla::App::Command::stale $ cpan `dzil stale --all` or $ cpanm Dist::Zilla::App::Command::stale $ dzil stale --all | cpanm You can also do this via cpanm directly: $ cpanm --reinstall --installdeps --with-develop --with-recommends Devel::REPL Once installed, here are some dzil commands you might try: $ dzil build $ dzil test $ dzil test --release $ dzil xtest $ dzil listdeps --json $ dzil build --notgz You can learn more about Dist::Zilla at http://dzil.org/. If you have found a bug, but do not have an accompanying patch to fix it, you can submit an issue report here: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Devel-REPL or via bug-Devel-REPL@rt.cpan.org. This is a good place to send your questions about the usage of this distribution.
