NAME
====

META::constants - distribution related constants from META info

SYNOPSIS
========

```raku
use META::constants $?DISTRIBUTION;

say NAME;
say DESCRIPTION;
say VERSION;
say API;

say AUTHORS;
say SOURCE-URL;
say CREDITS;
```

DESCRIPTION
===========

META::constants provides an easy way to access information in a module's META information. It is intended to be called inside the code of a module only, although anything that provides a `.meta` method, can be used.
