NAME
       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.


SEE ALSO
       Debian::Control::Stanza::Source inherits most of its functionality from Debian::Control::Stanza
