NAME

       Module::Packaged - Report upon packages of CPAN distributions

SYNOPSIS

	 use Module::Packaged;

	 my $p = Module::Packaged->new();
	 my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
	 # $dists is now:
	 # {
	 # cpan    => '1.08',
	 # debian  => '1.03',
	 # fedora  => '0.22',
	 # freebsd => '1.07',
	 # gentoo  => '1.05',
	 # openbsd => '0.22',
	 # suse    => '0.23',
	 # }

	 # meaning that Archive-Tar is at version 1.08 on CPAN but only at
	 # version 1.07 on FreeBSD, version 1.05 on Gentoo, version 1.03 on
	 # Debian, version 0.23 on SUSE and version 0.22 on OpenBSD

DESCRIPTION

       CPAN consists of distributions. However, CPAN is not an isolated system - distributions are also packaged in other places, such as for
       operating systems. This module reports whether CPAN distributions are packaged for various operating systems, and which version they have.

       Note: only CPAN, Debian, Fedora (Core 2), FreeBSD, Gentoo, Mandriva (10.1), OpenBSD (3.6) and SUSE (9.2) are currently supported. I want to
       support everything else. Patches are welcome.

METHODS

   new()
       The new() method is a constructor:

	 my $p = Module::Packaged->new();

   check()
       The check() method returns a hash reference. The keys are various distributions, the values the version number included:

	 my $dists = $p->check('Archive-Tar');
