       Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary - binary stanza of Debian source package control file

SYNOPSIS

           my $bin = Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary->new(\%data);
           print $bin;                         # auto-stringification
           print $bin->Depends;                # Debian::Dependencies object

DESCRIPTION

       Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary can be used for representation and manipulation of
       "Package:" stanza of Debian source package control files in an object-oriented way.
       Converts itself to a textual representation in string context.

FIELDS

       The supported fields for binary stanzas are listed below. For more information about each
       field's meaning, consult the section named "Source package control files --
       debian/control" of the Debian Policy Manual at <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/>

       Note that real control fields may contain dashes in their names. These are replaced with
       underscores.

       Description

       "Depends", "Conflicts" "Breaks", "Recommends", "Suggests", "Enhances", "Replaces", and
       "Pre_Depends" fields are converted to objects of Debian::Dependencies class upon
       construction.

       Two more accessor methods are provided for easier handling of package's short and long
       description.

       short_description
       long_description

       Setting them transparently modifies Description. Note that the value of long_description
       is "unmangled", that is without leading spaces, and empty lines are empty. Description on
       the other hand is just as it looks in a regular debian/control file - the long part is
       indented with a single space and empty lines are replaced with dots.

CONSTRUCTOR

       new
       new( { field => value, ... } )
           Creates a new Debian::Control::Stanza::Binary object and optionally initializes it
           with the supplied data.

       Debian::Control::Stanza
