NAME

       Test::MinimumVersion - does your code require newer perl than you think?

VERSION

       version 0.101080

SYNOPSIS

       Example minimum-perl.t:

	 #!perl
	 use Test::MinimumVersion;
	 all_minimum_version_ok('5.008');

FUNCTIONS

   minimum_version_ok
	 minimum_version_ok($file, $version);

       This test passes if the given file does not seem to require any version of perl newer than $version, which may be given as a version string
       or a version object.

   all_minimum_version_ok
	 all_minimum_version_ok($version, \%arg);

       Given either a version string or a version object, this routine produces a test plan (if there is no plan) and tests each relevant file
       with "minimum_version_ok".

       Relevant files are found by File::Find::Rule::Perl.

       "\%arg" is optional.  Valid arguments are:

	 paths	 - in what paths to look for files; defaults to (t, lib, xt/smoke,
		   and any .pm or .PL files in the current working directory)
		   if it contains files, they will be checked
	 no_plan - do not plan the tests about to be run

   all_minimum_version_from_metayml_ok
	 all_minimum_version_from_metayml_ok(\%arg);

       This routine checks META.yml for an entry in requires for perl.	If no META.yml file or no perl version is found, all tests are skipped.
       If a version is found, the test proceeds as if "all_minimum_version_ok" had been called with that version.

NAME

       Test::CPAN::Meta::YAML - Validate a META.yml file within a CPAN distribution.

SYNOPSIS

       There are two forms this module can be used.

       The first is a standalone test of your distribution's META.yml file:

	 use Test::More;
	 eval "use Test::CPAN::Meta::YAML";
	 plan skip_all => "Test::CPAN::Meta::YAML required for testing META.yml" if $@;
	 meta_yaml_ok();

       Note that you may provide an optional label/comment/message/etc to the function, or one will be created automatically.

       The second form allows you to test other META.yml files, or specify a specific version you wish to test against:

	 use Test::More test => 6;
	 use Test::CPAN::Meta::YAML;

	 # specify a file and specification version
	 meta_spec_ok('META.yml','1.3',$msg);

	 # specify the specification version to validate the local META.yml
	 meta_spec_ok(undef,'1.3',$msg);

	 # specify a file, where the specification version is deduced
	 # from the file itself
	 meta_spec_ok('META.yml',undef,$msg);

       Note that this form requires you to specify the number of tests you will be running in your test script. Also note that each 'meta_spec_ok'
       is actually 2 tests under the hood.

DESCRIPTION

       This module was written to ensure that a META.yml file, provided with a standard distribution uploaded to CPAN, meets the specifications
       that slowly being introduced to module uploads, via the use of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build and Module::Install.

       See CPAN::Meta for further details of the CPAN Meta Specification.

ABSTRACT

       A test module to validate a META.yml file.

FUNCTIONS

       o   meta_yaml_ok([$msg])

	   Basic META.yml wrapper around meta_spec_ok.

       o   meta_spec_ok($file, $version [,$msg])

	   Validates the named file against the given specification version. Both $file and $version can be undefined.

TESTING META FILES

       There are currently 3 distributions to test META files:

	 Test-CPAN-Meta
	 Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON
	 Test-CPAN-Meta-YAML

       All three have slightly different requirements and are intended to be used in slightly different environments.

       Test-CPAN-Meta-YAML requires a YAML parser, and currently looks for the YAML or YAML::Syck modules. This is the original variant of the 3
       and was intended to provide a more complete YAML validation of a META.yml.

       Test-CPAN-Meta requires the Parse::CPAN::Meta module, which is now part of Perl Core as of perl-5.10.1. This version is intended to be used
       by those only wishing to rely on core modules to test their META.yml files.

       Test-CPAN-Meta-JSON is the most recent addition to the family, and is specifically aimed at those distributions that use a META.json Meta
       file. The distribution requires the JSON module to parse the Meta file.

BUGS, PATCHES &; FIXES
       There are no known bugs at the time of this release. However, if you spot a bug or are experiencing difficulties that are not explained
       within the POD documentation, please send an email to barbie@cpan.org or submit a bug to the RT system
       (http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Test-CPAN-Meta-YAML).	However, it would help greatly if you are able to pinpoint
       problems or even supply a patch.

       Fixes are dependent upon their severity and my availability. Should a fix not be forthcoming, please feel free to (politely) remind me.
