Software distributions released to the CPAN include a META.json
|
||
|
or, for older distributions, META.yml, which describes the
|
||
|
distribution, its contents, and the requirements for building and
|
||
|
installing the distribution. The data structure stored in the
|
||
|
META.json file is described in CPAN::Meta::Spec.
|
||
|
|
||
|
CPAN::Meta provides a simple class to represent this distribution
|
||
|
metadata (or distmeta), along with some helpful methods for
|
||
|
interrogating that data.
