NAME

       Perl::OSType - Map Perl operating system names to generic types

VERSION

       version 1.003

SYNOPSIS

	 use Perl::OSType ':all';

	 $current_type = os_type();
	 $other_type = os_type('dragonfly'); # gives 'Unix'

DESCRIPTION

       Modules that provide OS-specific behaviors often need to know if the current operating system matches a more generic type of operating
       systems. For example, 'linux' is a type of 'Unix' operating system and so is 'freebsd'.

       This module provides a mapping between an operating system name as given by $^O and a more generic type.  The initial version is based on
       the OS type mappings provided in Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder.  (Thus, Microsoft operating systems are given the type 'Windows'
       rather than 'Win32'.)

USAGE

       No functions are exported by default. The export tag ":all" will export all functions listed below.

   os_type()
	 $os_type = os_type();
	 $os_type = os_type('MSWin32');

       Returns a single, generic OS type for a given operating system name.  With no arguments, returns the OS type for the current value of $^O.
       If the operating system is not recognized, the function will return the empty string.

   is_os_type()
	 $is_windows = is_os_type('Windows');
	 $is_unix    = is_os_type('Unix', 'dragonfly');

       Given an OS type and OS name, returns true or false if the OS name is of the given type.  As with "os_type", it will use the current
       operating system as a default if no OS name is provided.

NAME

       CPAN::Meta::YAML - Read and write a subset of YAML for CPAN Meta files

VERSION

       version 0.008

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPAN::Meta::YAML;

	   # reading a META file
	   open $fh, "<:utf8", "META.yml";
	   $yaml_text = do { local $/; <$fh> };
	   $yaml = CPAN::Meta::YAML->read_string($yaml_text)
	     or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;

	   # finding the metadata
	   $meta = $yaml->[0];

	   # writing a META file
	   $yaml_text = $yaml->write_string
	     or die CPAN::Meta::YAML->errstr;
	   open $fh, ">:utf8", "META.yml";
	   print $fh $yaml_text;

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements a subset of the YAML specification for use in reading and writing CPAN metadata files like META.yml and MYMETA.yml.
       It should not be used for any other general YAML parsing or generation task.

       NOTE: META.yml (and MYMETA.yml) files should be UTF-8 encoded.  Users are responsible for proper encoding and decoding.	In particular, the
       "read" and "write" methods do not support UTF-8 and should not be used.

SUPPORT

       This module is currently derived from YAML::Tiny by Adam Kennedy.  If there are bugs in how it parses a particular META.yml file, please
       file a bug report in the YAML::Tiny bugtracker: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=YAML-Tiny
       <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=YAML-Tiny>
