NAME
       Dist::Metadata::Struct - Enable Dist::Metadata for a data structure

VERSION
       version 0.923

SYNOPSIS
	 my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(struct => {
	   files => {
	     'lib/Mod.pm' => 'package Mod; sub something { ... }',
	     'README'	  => 'this is a fake dist, useful for testing',
	   }
	 });

DESCRIPTION
       This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable mocking up a dist from perl data structures.

       This is mostly used for testing but might be useful if you already have an in-memory representation of a dist that you'd like to examine.

       It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata.

METHODS
   new
	 $dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(files => {
	   'lib/Mod.pm' => 'package Mod; sub something { ... }',
	 });

       Accepts a "files" parameter that should be a hash of "{ name => content, }".  Content can be a string, a reference to a string, or an IO
       object.

   default_file_spec
       "Unix" is the default for consistency/simplicity but "file_spec" can be overridden in the constructor.

   file_content
       Returns the string content for the specified name.

   find_files
       Returns the keys of the "files" hash.
