Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Dist::Metadata::Dir(3pm)

NAME

Dist::Metadata::Dir - Enable Dist::Metadata for a directory

VERSION

version 0.927

SYNOPSIS

  my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(dir => $path_to_dir);

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable getting the dists metadata from a directory.

This can be useful if you already have a dist extracted into a directory.

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(dir => $path);

Accepts a single 'dir' argument that should be a path to a directory.

determine_name_and_version

Attempts to parse name and version from directory name.

dir

Returns the "dir" attribute specified in the constructor.

file_content

Returns the content for the specified file.

find_files

Returns a list of the file names beneath the directory (relative to the directory).

physical_directory

Returns the "dir" attribute since this is already a directory containing the desired files.
