2 Module::Math::Depends - Convenience object for manipulating module
3 dependencies
4
5DESCRIPTION
6 This is a small convenience module created originally as part of
7 Module::Inspector but released seperately, in the hope that people might
8 find it useful in other contexts.

10METHODS
11 new
12 my $deps = Module::Math::Depends->new;
13
14 Creates a new, empty, dependency set.
15
16 from_hash
17 my $deps = Module::Math::Depends->from_hash( \%modules );
18
19 Creates a new dependency set from a raw hashref of modules names and
20 versions.
21
22 add_module
23 $deps->add_module( 'My::Module' => '1.23' );
24
25 Adds a single module dependency to the set.
26
27 Returns true, or dies on error.
28
29 merge
30 $my_deps->merge( $your_deps );
31
32 The "merge" method takes another dependency set and merges it into the
33 current one, taking the highest version where both sets contain a
34 module.
35
36 Returns true or dies on error.
37
38 as_string
39 print $depends->as_string;
40
41 Converts the dependency set to a simple printable string.

43SUPPORT
44 This module is stored in an Open Repository at the following address.
45
46 <http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Module-Math-Depends>
47
48 Write access to the repository is made available automatically to any
49 published CPAN author, and to most other volunteers on request.
50
51 If you are able to submit your bug report in the form of new (failing)
52 unit tests, or can apply your fix directly instead of submitting a
53 patch, you are strongly encouraged to do so as the author currently
54 maintains over 100 modules and it can take some time to deal with
55 non-Critcal bug reports or patches.
56
57 This will guarentee that your issue will be addressed in the next
58 release of the module.
59
60 If you cannot provide a direct test or fix, or don't have time to do so,
61 then regular bug reports are still accepted and appreciated via the CPAN
62 bug tracker.

66 For other issues, for commercial enhancement or support, or to have your
67 write access enabled for the repository, contact the author at the email
68 address above.
