NAME

       Dpkg::Changelog::Debian - parse Debian changelogs

DESCRIPTION

       Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in deb-changelog(5).

       The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments, RCS keywords, Vim modelines, Emacs
       local variables and stuff from older changelogs with other formats at the end of the file.  NOTE: most of
       these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued for them. This should become
       configurable in the future.

METHODS

       $c->parse($fh, $description)
           Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it. The data in the object is reset before
           parsing new data.

           Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with success.

CHANGES
