+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.
