NAME

       CPAN::Changes::Parser - Parse a CPAN Changelog file

SYNOPSIS

         my $parser = CPAN::Changes::Parser->new(
           version_like => qr/\{\{\$NEXT\}\}/,
           version_prefix => qr/=head\d\s+/,
         );

         my $changelog = $parser->parse_file('Changes', ':utf8');
         my $changelog = $parser->parse_string($content);

DESCRIPTION

       Parses a file or string into a CPAN::Changes object.  Many forms of change log are
       accepted.

ATTRIBUTES

   version_like
       A regular expression for a token that will be accepted in place of a version number.  For
       example, this could be set to "qr/\{\{\$NEXT\}\}/" if the Dist::Zilla plugin [NextRelease]
       is managing the file.

   version_prefix
       A regular expression for a prefix that will be matched before a version number.
       "qr/=head\d\s+/" could be used if the change log is using Pod headings for the release
       headings.

METHODS

       used when reading the file.
