Takes an optional argument \f(CW\*(C`collect_pod\*(C'\fR which is a boolean that determines whether \s-1POD\s0 data is collected and stored for reference. \s-1POD\s0 data is not collected by default. \s-1POD\s0 headings are always collected. Returns undef if the filename does not exist. .ie n .IP """new_from_handle($handle, $filename, collect_pod => 1)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWnew_from_handle($handle, $filename, collect_pod => 1)\fR" 4 .IX Item "new_from_handle($handle, $filename, collect_pod => 1)" This works just like \f(CW\*(C`new_from_file\*(C'\fR, except that a handle can be provided as the first argument. Note that there is no validation to confirm that the handle is a handle or something that can act like one. Passing something that isn't a handle will cause a exception when trying to read from it. The \&\f(CW\*(C`filename\*(C'\fR argument is mandatory or undef will be returned. .ie n .IP """new_from_module($module, collect_pod => 1, inc => \e@dirs)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWnew_from_module($module, collect_pod => 1, inc => \e@dirs)\fR" 4 .IX Item "new_from_module($module, collect_pod => 1, inc => @dirs)" Construct a \f(CW\*(C`Module::Metadata\*(C'\fR object given a module or package name. In addition to accepting the \f(CW\*(C`collect_pod\*(C'\fR argument as described above, this method accepts a \f(CW\*(C`inc\*(C'\fR argument which is a reference to an array of of directories to search for the module. If none are given, the default is \f(CW@INC\fR. Returns undef if the module cannot be found. .ie n .IP """find_module_by_name($module, \e@dirs)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWfind_module_by_name($module, \e@dirs)\fR" 4 .IX Item "find_module_by_name($module, @dirs)" Returns the path to a module given the module or package name. A list of directories can be passed in as an optional parameter, otherwise \&\f(CW@INC\fR is searched. .Sp Can be called as either an object or a class method. .ie n .IP """find_module_dir_by_name($module, \e@dirs)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWfind_module_dir_by_name($module, \e@dirs)\fR" 4 .IX Item "find_module_dir_by_name($module, @dirs)" Returns the entry in \f(CW@dirs\fR (or \f(CW@INC\fR by default) that contains the module \f(CW$module\fR. A list of directories can be passed in as an optional parameter, otherwise \f(CW@INC\fR is searched. .Sp Can be called as either an object or a class method. .ie n .IP """provides( %options )""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWprovides( %options )\fR" 4 .IX Item "provides( %options )" This is a convenience wrapper around \f(CW\*(C`package_versions_from_directory\*(C'\fR to generate a \s-1CPAN\s0 \s-1META\s0 \f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR data structure. It takes key/value pairs. Valid option keys include: .RS 4 .IP "version \fB(required)\fR" 4 .IX Item "version (required)" Specifies which version of the CPAN::Meta::Spec should be used as the format of the \f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR output. Currently only '1.4' and '2' are supported (and their format is identical). This may change in the future as the definition of \f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR changes. .Sp The \f(CW\*(C`version\*(C'\fR option is required. If it is omitted or if an unsupported version is given, then \f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR will throw an error. .IP "dir" 4 .IX Item "dir" Directory to search recursively for \fI.pm\fR files. May not be specified with \&\f(CW\*(C`files\*(C'\fR. .IP "files" 4 .IX Item "files" Array reference of files to examine. May not be specified with \f(CW\*(C`dir\*(C'\fR. .IP "prefix" 4 .IX Item "prefix" String to prepend to the \f(CW\*(C`file\*(C'\fR field of the resulting output. This defaults to \fIlib\fR, which is the common case for most \s-1CPAN\s0 distributions with their \&\fI.pm\fR files in \fIlib\fR. This option ensures the \s-1META\s0 information has the correct relative path even when the \f(CW\*(C`dir\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`files\*(C'\fR arguments are absolute or have relative paths from a location other than the distribution root. .RE .RS 4 .Sp For example, given \f(CW\*(C`dir\*(C'\fR of 'lib' and \f(CW\*(C`prefix\*(C'\fR of 'lib', the return value is a hashref of the form: .Sp .Vb 7 \& { \& \*(AqPackage::Name\*(Aq => { \& version => \*(Aq0.123\*(Aq, \& file => \*(Aqlib/Package/Name.pm\*(Aq \& }, \& \*(AqOtherPackage::Name\*(Aq => ... \& } .Ve .RE .ie n .IP """package_versions_from_directory($dir, \e@files?)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWpackage_versions_from_directory($dir, \e@files?)\fR" 4 .IX Item "package_versions_from_directory($dir, @files?)" Scans \f(CW$dir\fR for .pm files (unless \f(CW@files\fR is given, in which case looks for those files in \f(CW$dir\fR \- and reads each file for packages and versions, returning a hashref of the form: .Sp .Vb 7 \& { \& \*(AqPackage::Name\*(Aq => { \& version => \*(Aq0.123\*(Aq, \& file => \*(AqPackage/Name.pm\*(Aq \& }, \& \*(AqOtherPackage::Name\*(Aq => ... \& } .Ve .Sp The \f(CW\*(C`DB\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR packages are always omitted, as are any \*(L"private\*(R" packages that have leading underscores in the namespace (e.g. \&\f(CW\*(C`Foo::_private\*(C'\fR) .Sp Note that the file path is relative to \f(CW$dir\fR if that is specified. This \fBmust not\fR be used directly for \s-1CPAN\s0 \s-1META\s0 \f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR. See the \f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR method instead. .ie n .IP """log_info (internal)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWlog_info (internal)\fR" 4 .IX Item "log_info (internal)" Used internally to perform logging; imported from Log::Contextual if Log::Contextual has already been loaded, otherwise simply calls warn. .SS "Object methods" .IX Subsection "Object methods" .ie n .IP """name()""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWname()\fR" 4 .IX Item "name()" Returns the name of the package represented by this module. If there are more than one packages, it makes a best guess based on the filename. If it's a script (i.e. not a *.pm) the package name is \&'main'. .ie n .IP """version($package)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWversion($package)\fR" 4 .IX Item "version($package)" Returns the version as defined by the \f(CW$VERSION\fR variable for the package as returned by the \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR method if no arguments are given. If given the name of a package it will attempt to return the version of that package if it is specified in the file. .ie n .IP """filename()""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWfilename()\fR" 4 .IX Item "filename()" Returns the absolute path to the file. .ie n .IP """packages_inside()""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWpackages_inside()\fR" 4 .IX Item "packages_inside()" Returns a list of packages. Note: this is a raw list of packages discovered (or assumed, in the case of \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR). It is not filtered for \f(CW\*(C`DB\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR or private packages the way the \&\f(CW\*(C`provides\*(C'\fR method does. .ie n .IP """pod_inside()""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWpod_inside()\fR" 4 .IX Item "pod_inside()" Returns a list of \s-1POD\s0 sections. .ie n .IP """contains_pod()""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWcontains_pod()\fR" 4 .IX Item "contains_pod()" Returns true if there is any \s-1POD\s0 in the file. .ie n .IP """pod($section)""" 4 .el .IP "\f(CWpod($section)\fR" 4 .IX Item "pod($section)" Returns the \s-1POD\s0 data in the given section. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Original code from Module::Build::ModuleInfo by Ken Williams <kwilliams@cpan.org>, Randy W.
