=head1 NAME

Module::Metadata - Gather package and POD information from perl module files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Module::Metadata;

  # information about a .pm file
  my $info = Module::Metadata->new_from_file( $file );
  my $version = $info->version;

  # CPAN META 'provides' field for .pm files in a directory
  my $provides = Module::Metadata->provides(
    dir => 'lib', version => 2
  );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a standard way to gather metadata about a .pm file
without executing unsafe code.

=head1 USAGE

=head2 Class methods

=over 4

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

Construct a C<Module::Metadata> object given the path to a file. Takes an
optional argument 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.  Returns undef if the filename
does not exist.

=item C<< new_from_handle($handle, $filename, collect_pod => 1) >>

This works just like C<new_from_file>, except that a handle can be provided
as the first argument.  Note that there is no validation to confirm that the
handle is a handle or something that can act like one.  Passing something that
isn't a handle will cause a exception when trying to read from it.  The
C<filename> argument is mandatory or undef will be returned.

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

Construct a C<Module::Metadata> 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> argument which is a reference to an array of
of directories to search for the module. If none are given, the
default is @INC.  Returns undef if the module cannot be found.

=item C<< 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 parameter, otherwise
@INC is searched.

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

=item C<< 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 parameter, otherwise @INC is searched.

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

=item C<< provides( %options ) >>

This is a convenience wrapper around C<package_versions_from_directory>
to generate a CPAN META C<provides> data structure.  It takes key/value
pairs.  Valid option keys include:

=over

=item version B<(required)>

Specifies which version of the L<CPAN::Meta::Spec> should be used as
the format of the C<provides> output.  Currently only '1.4' and '2'
are supported (and their format is identical).  This may change in
the future as the definition of C<provides> changes.

The C<version> option is required.  If it is omitted or if
an unsupported version is given, then C<provides> will throw an error.

=item dir

Directory to search recursively for F<.pm> files.  May not be specified with
C<files>.

=item files

Array reference of files to examine.  May not be specified with C<dir>.

=item prefix

String to prepend to the C<file> field of the resulting output. This defaults
to F<lib>, which is the common case for most CPAN distributions with their
F<.pm> files in F<lib>.  This option ensures the META information has the
correct relative path even when the C<dir> or C<files> arguments are
absolute or have relative paths from a location other than the distribution
root.

=back

For example, given C<dir> of 'lib' and C<prefix> of 'lib', the return value
is a hashref of the form:

  {
    'Package::Name' => {
      version => '0.123',
      file => 'lib/Package/Name.pm'
    },
    'OtherPackage::Name' => ...
  }

=item C<< package_versions_from_directory($dir, \@files?) >>

Scans C<$dir> for .pm files (unless C<@files> is given, in which case looks
for those files in C<$dir> - and reads each file for packages and versions,
returning a hashref of the form:

  {
    'Package::Name' => {
      version => '0.123',
      file => 'Package/Name.pm'
    },
    'OtherPackage::Name' => ...
  }

The C<DB> and C<main> packages are always omitted, as are any "private"
packages that have leading underscores in the namespace (e.g.
C<Foo::_private>)

Note that the file path is relative to C<$dir> if that is specified.
This B<must not> be used directly for CPAN META C<provides>.  See
the C<provides> method instead.

=item C<< log_info (internal) >>

Used internally to perform logging; imported from Log::Contextual if
Log::Contextual has already been loaded, otherwise simply calls warn.

=back

=head2 Object methods

=over 4

=item C<< 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 C<< 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 C<< filename() >>

Returns the absolute path to the file.

=item C<< packages_inside() >>

Returns a list of packages. Note: this is a raw list of packages
discovered (or assumed, in the case of C<main>).  It is not
filtered for C<DB>, C<main> or private packages the way the
C<provides> method does.

=item C<< pod_inside() >>

Returns a list of POD sections.

=item C<< contains_pod() >>

Returns true if there is any POD in the file.

=item C<< pod($section) >>

Returns the POD data in the given section.
