NAME

       Module::Faker - build fake dists for testing CPAN tools

VERSION

       version 0.017

SYNOPSIS

         Module::Faker->make_fakes({
           source => './dir-of-specs',
           dest   => './will-contain-tarballs',
         });

   DESCRIPTION
       Module::Faker is a tool for building fake CPAN modules and, perhaps more importantly, fake
       CPAN distributions.  These are useful for running tools that operate against CPAN
       distributions without having to use real CPAN distributions.  This is much more useful
       when testing an entire CPAN instance, rather than a single distribution, for which see
       CPAN::Faker.

METHODS

   make_fakes
         Module::Faker->make_fakes(\%arg);

       This method creates a new Module::Faker and builds archives in its destination directory
       for every dist-describing file in its source directory.  See the "new" method below.

   new
         my $faker = Module::Faker->new(\%arg);

       This create the new Module::Faker.  All arguments may be accessed later by methods of the
       same name.  Valid arguments are:

         source - the directory in which to find source files
         dest   - the directory in which to construct dist archives

         dist_class - the class used to fake dists; default: Module::Faker::Dist
