NAME

       Module::Install::Copyright - package a COPYRIGHT file with a distribution

SYNOPSIS

       In Makefile.PL:

               write_copyright_file;

DESCRIPTION

       Extracts copyright and licensing information from embedded pod and/or RDF metadata
       included in the distribution, and outputs it as a text file called "COPYRIGHT" which
       should roughly conform to the Debian copyright file format.

       This module provides one function for use in Module::Install-based Makefile.PL scripts:

       "write_copyright_file"
