NAME¶

Lintian::Lab -- Interface to the Lintian Lab

SYNOPSIS¶

 use Lintian::Lab;
 my $lab = Lintian::Lab->new;

DESCRIPTION¶

This module provides an abstraction from "How and where" packages are placed. It handles creation and deletion of the Lintian Lab itself as well as providing access to the entries.

$lab->basedir

Returns the base directory for the lab. Most likely it's a temporary directory.

$lab->keep

Returns or accepts a boolean value that indicates whether the lab should be removed when Lintian finishes. Used for debugging.

INSTANCE METHODS¶

DEMOLISH

Removes the lab and everything in it. Any reference to an entry returned from this lab will immediately become invalid.
