NAME

       Test::CPAN::Changes - Validation of the Changes file in a CPAN distribution

SYNOPSIS

           use Test::More;
           eval 'use Test::CPAN::Changes';
           plan skip_all => 'Test::CPAN::Changes required for this test' if $@;
           changes_ok();

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows CPAN authors to write automated tests to ensure their changelogs match
       the specification.

METHODS

   changes_ok( )
       Simple wrapper around "changes_file_ok". Declares a four test plan, and uses the default
       filename of "Changes".

   changes_file_ok( $filename, \%arg )
       Checks the contents of the changes file against the specification. No plan is declared and
       if the filename is undefined, "Changes" is used.

       %arg may include a version entry, in which case the entry for that version must exist and
       have content.  This is useful to ensure that the version currently being released has
       documented changes.
