# Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckBin(3pm)

Require that our distribution has a particular command available

## NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckBin - Require that our distribution has a particular command available

## VERSION

version 0.008

## SYNOPSIS

In your *dist.ini*:

```
    [CheckBin]
    command = ls
```

## DESCRIPTION

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckBin is a Dist::Zilla plugin that modifies the *Makefile.PL* or *Build.PL* in your distribution to contain a Devel::CheckBin call, that asserts that a particular command is available. If it is not available, the program exits with a status of zero, which on a CPAN Testers machine will result in a NA result.

## CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

### "command"

Identifies the name of the command that is searched for. Can be used more than once.
