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.
