NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Twitter - Twitter when you release with Dist::Zilla VERSION version 0.002 SYNOPSIS In your "dist.ini": [Twitter] In your ".netrc": machine api.twitter.com login YOUR_TWITTER_USER_NAME password YOUR_TWITTER_PASSWORD DESCRIPTION This plugin will use Net::Twitter with the login and password in your ".netrc" file to send a release notice to Twitter. By default, it will include a link to your README file as extracted on a fast CPAN mirror. This works very nicely with Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ReadmeFromPod. The default configuration is as follows: [Twitter] tweet_url = http://cpan.cpantesters.org/authors/id/{{$AUTHOR_PATH}}/{{$DIST}}-{{$VERSION}}.readme tweet = Released {{$DIST}}-{{$VERSION}} {{$URL}} The "tweet_url" is shortened with WWW::Shorten::TinyURL and appended to the "tweet" messsage. The following variables are available for substitution in the URL and message templates: DIST # Foo-Bar VERSION # 1.23 TARBALL # Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz AUTHOR_UC # JOHNDOE AUTHOR_LC # johndoe AUTHOR_PATH # J/JO/JOHNDOE URL # TinyURL You must be using the "UploadToCPAN" plugin for this plugin to determine your CPAN author ID.
