    CONTRIBUTING
    
    Thank you for considering contributing to this distribution.  This file
    contains instructions that will help you work with the source code.
    
    PLEASE NOTE that if you have any questions or difficulties, you can reach the
    maintainer(s) through the bug queue described later in this document
    (preferred), or by emailing the releaser directly. You are not required to
    follow any of the steps in this document to submit a patch or bug report;
    these are just recommendations, intended to help you (and help us help you
    faster).
    
    This distribution has a TODO file in the repository; you may want to check
    there to see if your issue or patch idea is mentioned.
    
    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 sufficient 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/Log-Dispatch-Perl
    
    If you use cpanminus, you can do it without downloading the tarball first:
    
      $ cpanm --reinstall --installdeps --with-recommends Log::Dispatch::Perl
    
    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 Log::Dispatch::Perl
    
    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/.
    
    The code for this distribution is hosted at GitHub. The repository is:
    
    https://github.com/karenetheridge/Log-Dispatch-Perl
    
    You can submit code changes by forking the repository, pushing your code
    changes to your clone, and then submitting a pull request. Please include a
    suitable end-user-oriented entry in the Changes file describing your change.
    Detailed instructions for doing that is available here:
    
    https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request
    
    All pull requests for this distribution will be automatically tested on Linux
    by Travis at: https://travis-ci.com/karenetheridge/Log-Dispatch-Perl
    Results will be visible in the pull request on GitHub. Follow the appropriate
    links for details when tests fail. Changes will not be mergeable until all
    tests pass.
    
    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=Log-Dispatch-Perl
    or via email: bug-Log-Dispatch-Perl@rt.cpan.org
    This is a good place to send your questions about the usage of this distribution.
    
    If you send me a patch or pull request, your name and email address will be
    included in the documentation as a contributor (using the attribution on the
    commit or patch), unless you specifically request for it not to be.  If you
    wish to be listed under a different name or address, you should submit a pull
    request to the .mailmap file to contain the correct mapping.
