such a helper script ?
Geert,
The dist.ini
(https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/blob/master/dist.ini)
file in the GitHub F::Q repository is the control file for Dist::Zilla's
dzil command. However, since Dist::Zilla will automatically attempt to
find dependencies, the [Prereqs] and [Prereqs / TestRequires ] stanzas
usually contain just those modules that Dist::Zilla could not
automatically figure out.
But, in the META.json or META.yml file created by Dist::Zilla when
creating or releasing a package does contain a more thorough list of
requirements.
The caviat is that list is still not complete because of how
installations via CPAN works, but will be enough for someone to execute
"cpan Finance::Quote" and install the latest/current release.
For example, dist.ini could contain "A::B = 0". While building the
package, Dist::Zilla may find that "A::B" depends on "C::D" and add that
to the META files. But it may not find that "C::D" depends on "E::F",
"E::G", and "Y::Z". These get handled automatically when installing the
module/package using CPAN.
