NAME

Devel::ModInfo - provides metadata about a module's methods, properties, and arguments

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use ModInfo;
my $mi        = Devel::ModInfo->new('Data::Dumper');
my @functions = $mi->function_descriptors();
my (@methods, @properties);
if ($mi->is_oo) {
 @methods    = $mi->method_descriptors;
    @properties = $mi->property_descriptors();
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Devel::ModInfo will use a previously created XML file (with the extension .mfo) to generate a data structure that describes the interface for a Perl module.

The Devel::ModInfo system is made up of several object-oriented modules which are all used exclusively by the ModInfo module. This means that the developer should only ever need to directly instantiate the Devel::ModInfo object with the class name of the desired module.

INTERFACE

KNOWN ISSUES

ModInfo currently has problems with mfo files that define more than one module.
