NAME
       Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary - binary stanza of Debian source package control file

SYNOPSIS
	   my $src = Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary->new(\%data);
	   print $src;			       # auto-stringification
	   print $src->Depends; 	       # Debian::Dependencies object

DESCRIPTION
       Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary can be used for representation and manipulation of "Package:" stanza of Debian source package control files
       in an object-oriented way. Converts itself to a textual representation in string context.

FIELDS
       The supported fields for binary stanzas are listed below. For more information about each field's meaning, consult the section named
       "Source package control files -- debian/control" of the Debian Policy Manual at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
       <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/>

       Note that real control fields may contain dashes in their names. These are replaced with underscores.

       Description

       "Depends", "Conflicts" "Breaks", "Recommends", "Suggests", "Enhances", "Replaces", and "Pre_Depends" fields are converted to objects of
       Debian::Dependencies class upon construction.

       Two more accessor methods are provided for easier handling of package's short and long description.

       short_description
       long_description

       Setting them transparently modifies Description. Note that the value of long_description is "unmangled", that is without leading spaces,
       and empty lines are empty. Description on the other hand is just as it looks in a regular debian/control file - the long part is indented
       with a single space and empty lines are replaced with dots.

CONSTRUCTOR
       new
       new( { field => value, ... } )
	   Creates a new Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary object and optionally initializes it with the supplied data.

SEE ALSO
       Debian::Control::Stanza::Source inherits most of its functionality from Debian::Control::Stanza
