NAME

       Dist::Metadata::Struct - Enable Dist::Metadata for a data structure

VERSION

       version 0.926

SYNOPSIS

         my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(struct => {
           files => {
             'lib/Mod.pm' => 'package Mod; sub something { ... }',
             'README'     => 'this is a fake dist, useful for testing',
           }
         });

DESCRIPTION

       This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable mocking up a dist from perl data
       structures.

       This is mostly used for testing but might be useful if you already have an in-memory
       representation of a dist that you'd like to examine.

       It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in
       Dist::Metadata.

METHODS

   new
         $dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(files => {
           'lib/Mod.pm' => 'package Mod; sub something { ... }',
         });

       Accepts a "files" parameter that should be a hash of "{ name => content, }".  Content can
       be a string, a reference to a string, or an IO object.

   default_file_spec
       "Unix" is the default for consistency/simplicity but "file_spec" can be overridden in the
       constructor.

   file_content
       Returns the string content for the specified name.

   find_files
       Returns the keys of the "files" hash.
