Overview

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.
