Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser - something that uses FileFinder plugins

VERSION
version 4.300030

DESCRIPTION
This role enables you to search for files in the dist. This makes it easy to find specific files and have the code factored out to common methods.

Here's an example of a finder: ( taken from AutoPrereqs )

  with 'Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser' => {
      default_finders  => [ ':InstallModules', ':ExecFiles' ],
  };

Then you use it in your code like this:

  foreach my $file ( $self->found_files ) {
    # $file is an object! Look at L<Dist::Zilla::Role::File>
  }
