=head1 NAME

ModuleInfo - Gather package and POD information from a perl module files


=head1 DESCRIPTION

=over 4

=item new_from_file($filename, collect_pod => 1)

Construct a ModuleInfo object given the path to a file. Takes an optional
arguement C<collect_pod> which is a boolean that determines whether
POD data is collected and stored for reference. POD data is not
collected by default. POD headings are always collected.

=item new_from_module($module, collect_pod => 1, inc => \@dirs)

Construct a ModuleInfo object given a module or package name. In addition
to accepting the C<collect_pod> argument as described above, this
method accepts a C<inc> arguemnt which is a reference to an array of
of directories to search for the module. If none are given, the
default is @INC.

=item name()

Returns the name of the package represented by this module. If there
are more than one packages, it makes a best guess based on the
filename. If it's a script (i.e. not a *.pm) the package name is
'main'.

=item version($package)

Returns the version as defined by the $VERSION variable for the
package as returned by the C<name> method if no arguments are
given. If given the name of a package it will attempt to return the
version of that package if it is specified in the file.

=item filename()

Returns the absolute path to the file.

=item packages_inside()

Returns a list of packages.

=item pod_inside()

Returns a list of POD sections.

=item contains_pod()

Returns true if there is any POD in the file.

=item pod($section)

Returns the POD data in the given section.

=item find_module_by_name($module, \@dirs)

Returns the path to a module given the module or package name. A list
of directories can be passed in as an optional paramater, otherwise
@INC is searched.

Can be called as either an object or a class method.

=item find_module_dir_by_name($module, \@dirs)

Returns the entry in C<@dirs> (or C<@INC> by default) that contains
the module C<$module>. A list of directories can be passed in as an
optional paramater, otherwise @INC is searched.

Can be called as either an object or a class method.

346
347	ModuleInfo - Gather package and POD information from a perl module files
348
349
350	=head1 DESCRIPTION
351
352	=over 4
353
354	=item new_from_file($filename, collect_pod => 1)
355
356	Construct a ModuleInfo object given the path to a file. Takes an optional
357	arguement C<collect_pod> which is a boolean that determines whether
358	POD data is collected and stored for reference. POD data is not
359	collected by default. POD headings are always collected.
360
361	=item new_from_module($module, collect_pod => 1, inc => \@dirs)
362
363	Construct a ModuleInfo object given a module or package name. In addition
364	to accepting the C<collect_pod> argument as described above, this
365	method accepts a C<inc> arguemnt which is a reference to an array of
366	of directories to search for the module. If none are given, the
367	default is @INC.
368
369	=item name()
370
371	Returns the name of the package represented by this module. If there
372	are more than one packages, it makes a best guess based on the
373	filename. If it's a script (i.e. not a *.pm) the package name is
374	'main'.
375
376	=item version($package)
377
378	Returns the version as defined by the $VERSION variable for the
379	package as returned by the C<name> method if no arguments are
380	given. If given the name of a package it will attempt to return the
381	version of that package if it is specified in the file.
382
383	=item filename()
384
385	Returns the absolute path to the file.
386
387	=item packages_inside()
388
389	Returns a list of packages.
390
391	=item pod_inside()
392
393	Returns a list of POD sections.
394
395	=item contains_pod()
396
397	Returns true if there is any POD in the file.
398
399	=item pod($section)
400
401	Returns the POD data in the given section.
402
403	=item find_module_by_name($module, \@dirs)
404
405	Returns the path to a module given the module or package name. A list
406	of directories can be passed in as an optional paramater, otherwise
407	@INC is searched.
408
409	Can be called as either an object or a class method.
410
411	=item find_module_dir_by_name($module, \@dirs)
412
413	Returns the entry in C<@dirs> (or C<@INC> by default) that contains
414	the module C<$module>. A list of directories can be passed in as an
415	optional paramater, otherwise @INC is searched.
416
417	Can be called as either an object or a class method.
