NAME

       Perl::Metrics::Simple::Analysis - Contains anaylsis results.

SYNOPSIS

       This is the class of objects returned by the analyze_files method of the Perl::Metrics::Simple class.

       Normally you would not create objects of this class directly, instead you get them by calling the analyze_files method on a
       Perl::Metrics::Simple object.

VERSION

       This is VERSION 0.1

DESCRIPTION

USAGE

   new
	 $analysis = Perl::Metrics::Simple::Analsys->new( @file_objects )

       Takes an arrayref of Perl::Metrics::Simple::Analysis::File objects and returns a new Perl::Metrics::Simple::Analysis object.

   data
       The raw data for the analysis. This is the arrayref you passed as the argument to new();

   files
       Arrayref of file paths, in the order they were encountered.

   file_count
       How many Perl files were found.

   lines
       Total lines in all files, excluding comments and pod.

   main_stats
       Returns a hashref of data based the main code in all files, that is, on the code minus all named subroutines.

	 {
	   lines	     => 723,
	   mccabe_complexity => 45
	 }

   file_stats
       Returns an arrayref of hashrefs, each entry is for one analyzed file, in the order they were encountered. The main_stats slot in the
       hashref is for all the code in the file outside of any named subroutines.

	  [
	     {
	       path => '/path/to/file',
	       main_stats => {
			       lines		 => 23,
			       mccabe_complexity => 3,
			       path		 => '/path/to/file',
			       name		 => '{code not in named subroutines}',
			      },
	       },
	       ...
	  ]

   packages
       Arrayref of unique packages found in code.

   package_count
       How many unique packages found.

   subs
       Array ref containing hashrefs of all named subroutines, in the order encounted.

       Each hashref has the structure:

	   {
		'lines' => 19,
		'mccabe_complexity' => 6,
		'name' => 'databaseRecords',
		'path' => '../path/to/File.pm',
	   }

   sub_count
       How many subroutines found.

   summary_stats
       Returns a data structure of the summary counts for all the files examined:

	   {
	       sub_length      => {
		   min		 => $min_sub_length,
		   max		 => $max_sub_length,
		   sorted_values => @lengths_of_all_subs,
		   mean 	 => $average_sub_length,
		   median	 => $median_sub_length,
		   standard_deviation => $std_dev_for_sub_lengths,
		},
	       sub_complexity  => {
		   min		 => $min_sub_complexity,
		   max		 => $max_sub_complexity,
		   sorted_values => @complexities_of_all_subs,
		   mean 	 => $average_sub_complexity,
		   median	 => $median_sub_complexity,
		   standard_deviation => $std_dev_for_sub_complexity,
	       },
	       main_complexity => {
		   min		 => $min_main_complexity,
		   max		 => $max_main_complexity,
		   sorted_values => @complexities_of_all_subs,
		   mean 	 => $average_main_complexity,
		   median	 => $median_main_complexity,
		   standard_deviation => $std_dev_for_main_complexity,
	       },
	   }

STATIC PACKAGE SUBROUTINES

       Utility subs used internally, but no harm in exposing them for now.  Call these with a fully-qualified package name, e.g.

	 Perl::Metrics::Simple::Analysis::is_ref($thing,'ARRAY')

   is_ref
       Takes a thing and a type. Returns true is thing is a reference of type type, otherwise returns false.
