NAME
CPAN::Meta::Feature - an optional feature provided by a CPAN
distribution
VERSION
version 2.150010
DESCRIPTION
A CPAN::Meta::Feature object describes an optional feature offered by a
CPAN distribution and specified in the distribution's META.json (or
META.yml) file.
For the most part, this class will only be used when operating on the
result of the "feature" or "features" methods on a CPAN::Meta object.
METHODS
new
my $feature = CPAN::Meta::Feature->new( $identifier => \%spec );
This returns a new Feature object. The %spec argument to the
constructor should be the same as the value of the "optional_feature"
entry in the distmeta. It must contain entries for "description" and
"prereqs".
identifier
This method returns the feature's identifier.
description
This method returns the feature's long description.
prereqs
This method returns the feature's prerequisites as a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs
object.
