I have therefor created Module::Info::File, which inherits from Module::Info and replaces the B method so the lacking data can be accessed (dir and name attributes). Apart from that you can use all the neat accessors from Module::Info. In the bin folder in this distribution is a small script called version.pl, which was the beginning of everything. =head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS =head2 new_from_file Given a file, it will interpret this as the module you want information about. You can also hand it a perl script. After construction has been completed three attributes have been set in the object: =over 4 =item * name =item * dir =item * file =back So by using the inherited methods from B you can access the attributes. There is an example in the bin/ folder called version.pl, this script was the starting point for this module. =over 4 =item * name, returns the package name of the file. =item * version, returns the version number of the module/file in question ($VERSION). =item * inc_dir, returns the dir attribute =item * file, returns the file attribute =back =head2 new_from_data A helper method to streamline the result set In general please refer to the documentation on B for more details. In list context the module returns and array of Module::Info::File objects, with which you can use the above accessors. The information in the objects might not be complete though (SEE: CAVEATS). In the t/ directory of this distribution there is a test (Info.t), it includes some tests. These tests will test your installation of Module::Info (required by Module::Info::File), if the tests fail, Module::Info::File will be obsolete and can be discontinued. =head1 SEE ALSO =over 4 =item * Module::Info, by Mattia Barbon =item * bin/version.pl =back =head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS The module can somewhat handle several package definitions in one file, but the information is not complete yet, such as version information etc. The method currently only support the following version number lines: $VERSION = '0.01'; $VERSION = 0.01; =head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES Eric D. Paterson scanned his complete CPAN installation and got and came across a few problems: =over =item L, the package was defined in a closure, this is handled from Module::Info::File 0.09. =item L, which is installed, however deprecated and does NOT contain a package defition. =item L, where the installed version was located in CGI/apache.pm so the casing was not uniform with the package definition, I have asked Eric for further information on this issue, regarding his version and installation. =back =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over =item * Unable to open file: - If the constructor B is given a filename parameter, which does not meet the following prerequisites: =over =item * it must be a file and it must exist =item * the file must be readable by the user =back =back =head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT There is a such no configuration necessary and Module::Info::File is expected to work on the same environments as perl itself. =head1 DEPENDENCIES This module is a sub-class of L, so the following direct dependencies have to be met: =over =item L 0.20 =item L, to work on non-unix operating systems =item Perl 5.6.0 and above Compability for older perls is no longer required, if somebody would require this I would be willing to invest the time and effort. =back =head1 TODO =over =item * Use PPI for parsing instead of own parsing mechanisms or it this serious overkill? =back =head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In no particular order =over 4 =item * Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer, for L =item * chromatic, for L =item * Eric D. Peterson, for reporting bugs resulting in an improvement =item * Lars Thegler. tagg (LTHEGLER), for not letting me go easily, a patch and suggesting the list context variation. =item * Thomas Eibner (THOMAS), for reviewing the POD =item * Mattia Barbon (MBARBON), for writing Module::Info =item * bigj at Perlmonks who mentioned Module::Info =item * All the CPAN testers, who help you to have your stuff tested on platforms not necessarily available to a module author. =back =head1 AUTHOR jonasbn Ejonasbn@cpan.orgE =head1 LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Module::Info::File and related modules are free software and is released under the Artistic License.
