SYNOPSIS In dist.ini: [InsertCommandOutput] ;verbatim=1 In your POD: # COMMAND: netstat -anp DESCRIPTION This module finds # COMMAND: ... directives in your POD, pass it to the Perl's backtick operator, and insert the result into your POD as a verbatim paragraph (unless when you set verbatim to 0, in which case output will be inserted as-is). If command fails ($? is non-zero), build will be aborted. SEE ALSO Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCodeResult, which can also be used to accomplish the same thing, e.g. with # CODE: my $res = `netstat -anp`; die if $?; $res except the DZP::InstallCommandResult plugin is shorter. Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertCodeOutput, which can also be used to accomplish the same thing, e.g. with # CODE: system "netstat -anp"; die if $?. Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InsertExample
