}
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Software distributions released to the CPAN include a F<META.json> or, for
older distributions, F<META.yml>, which describes the distribution, its
contents, and the requirements for building and installing the distribution.
The data structure stored in the F<META.json> file is described in
L<CPAN::Meta::Spec>.
CPAN::Meta provides a simple class to represent this distribution metadata (or
I<distmeta>), along with some helpful methods for interrogating that data.
The documentation below is only for the methods of the CPAN::Meta object. For
information on the meaning of individual fields, consult the spec.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $meta = CPAN::Meta->new($distmeta_struct, \%options);
Returns a valid CPAN::Meta object or dies if the supplied metadata hash
reference fails to validate. Older-format metadata will be up-converted to
version 2 if they validate against the original stated specification.
It takes an optional hashref of options. Valid options include:
=over
=item *
lazy_validation -- if true, new will attempt to convert the given metadata
to version 2 before attempting to validate it. This means than any
fixable errors will be handled by CPAN::Meta::Converter before validation.
(Note that this might result in invalid optional data being silently
dropped.) The default is false.
=back
=head2 create
my $meta = CPAN::Meta->create($distmeta_struct, \%options);
This is same as C<new()>, except that C<generated_by> and C<meta-spec> fields
will be generated if not provided. This means the metadata structure is
assumed to otherwise follow the latest L<CPAN::Meta::Spec>.
=head2 load_file
my $meta = CPAN::Meta->load_file($distmeta_file, \%options);
Given a pathname to a file containing metadata, this deserializes the file
according to its file suffix and constructs a new C<CPAN::Meta> object, just
like C<new()>. It will die if the deserialized version fails to validate
against its stated specification version.
It takes the same options as C<new()> but C<lazy_validation> defaults to
true.
=head2 load_yaml_string
my $meta = CPAN::Meta->load_yaml_string($yaml, \%options);
This method returns a new CPAN::Meta object using the first document in the
given YAML string. In other respects it is identical to C<load_file()>.
=head2 load_json_string
my $meta = CPAN::Meta->load_json_string($json, \%options);
This method returns a new CPAN::Meta object using the structure represented by
the given JSON string. In other respects it is identical to C<load_file()>.
=head2 save
$meta->save($distmeta_file, \%options);
Serializes the object as JSON and writes it to the given file. The only valid
option is C<version>, which defaults to '2'. On Perl 5.8.1 or later, the file
is saved with UTF-8 encoding.
For C<version> 2 (or higher), the filename should end in '.json'. L<JSON::PP>
is the default JSON backend. Using another JSON backend requires L<JSON> 2.5 or
later and you must set the C<$ENV{PERL_JSON_BACKEND}> to a supported alternate
backend like L<JSON::XS>.
For C<version> less than 2, the filename should end in '.yml'.
L<CPAN::Meta::Converter> is used to generate an older metadata structure, which
is serialized to YAML. CPAN::Meta::YAML is the default YAML backend. You may
set the C<$ENV{PERL_YAML_BACKEND}> to a supported alternative backend, though
this is not recommended due to subtle incompatibilities between YAML parsers on
CPAN.
=head2 meta_spec_version
This method returns the version part of the C<meta_spec> entry in the distmeta
structure. It is equivalent to:
$meta->meta_spec->{version};
=head2 effective_prereqs
my $prereqs = $meta->effective_prereqs;
my $prereqs = $meta->effective_prereqs( \@feature_identifiers );
This method returns a L<CPAN::Meta::Prereqs> object describing all the
prereqs for the distribution. If an arrayref of feature identifiers is given,
the prereqs for the identified features are merged together with the
distribution's core prereqs before the CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object is returned.
=head2 should_index_file
... if $meta->should_index_file( $filename );
This method returns true if the given file should be indexed. It decides this
by checking the C<file> and C<directory> keys in the C<no_index> property of
the distmeta structure.
C<$filename> should be given in unix format.
=head2 should_index_package
... if $meta->should_index_package( $package );
This method returns true if the given package should be indexed. It decides
this by checking the C<package> and C<namespace> keys in the C<no_index>
property of the distmeta structure.
=head2 features
my @feature_objects = $meta->features;
This method returns a list of L<CPAN::Meta::Feature> objects, one for each
optional feature described by the distribution's metadata.
=head2 feature
my $feature_object = $meta->feature( $identifier );
This method returns a L<CPAN::Meta::Feature> object for the optional feature
with the given identifier. If no feature with that identifier exists, an
exception will be raised.
=head2 as_struct
my $copy = $meta->as_struct( \%options );
This method returns a deep copy of the object's metadata as an unblessed hash
reference. It takes an optional hashref of options. If the hashref contains
a C<version> argument, the copied metadata will be converted to the version
of the specification and returned. For example:
my $old_spec = $meta->as_struct( {version => "1.4"} );
=head2 as_string
my $string = $meta->as_string( \%options );
This method returns a serialized copy of the object's metadata as a character
string. (The strings are B<not> UTF-8 encoded.) It takes an optional hashref
of options. If the hashref contains a C<version> argument, the copied metadata
will be converted to the version of the specification and returned. For
example:
my $string = $meta->as_struct( {version => "1.4"} );
For C<version> greater than or equal to 2, the string will be serialized as
JSON. For C<version> less than 2, the string will be serialized as YAML. In
both cases, the same rules are followed as in the C<save()> method for choosing
a serialization backend.
=head1 STRING DATA
The following methods return a single value, which is the value for the
corresponding entry in the distmeta structure. Values should be either undef
or strings.

The C<authors> and C<licenses> methods may also be called as C<author> and

=head1 CUSTOM DATA
A list of custom keys are available from the C<custom_keys> method and
particular keys may be retrieved with the C<custom> method.
say $meta->custom($_) for $meta->custom_keys;
If a custom key refers to a data structure, a deep clone is returned.
