NAME

Test::CheckChanges - Check that the Changes file matches the distribution.

VERSION

Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS

 use Test::CheckChanges;
 ok_changes();

You can make the test optional with

 use Test::More;
 eval 'use Test::CheckChanges;';
 if ($@) {
     plan skip_all => 'Test::CheckChanges required for testing the Changes file';
 } else {
     plan tests => 1;
 }
 ok_changes();

DESCRIPTION

Currently only checks that the version in the changes file matches the version of the distrobution.

The version is taken out of the Build data or the Makefile.

FUNCTIONS

All functions listed below are exported to the calling namespace.

ok_changes( )

    The ok_changes method takes no arguments and returns no value.

CHANGES FILE FORMAT

Currently this package parses 2 different types of Changes files. The first is the common, free style, Changes file where the version is first item on an unindetned line:

 0.01  Fri May  2 15:56:25 EDT 2008
       - more info

The second type of file parsed is the Module::Changes::YAML format changes file.

Create an RT if you need a different format file supported. If it is not horrid, I will add it.

The Debian style Changes file will like be the first new format added.

BUGS

Please open an RT if you find a bug.
