.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Implemented as a post-test hook, this plugin writes a specfile after
every successful test run. The content is also written to the
terminal.
.PP
As a side effect, the timestamps of the written specfiles reflect the
linear order of all dependencies.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1WARNING:\s0\fR This code is just a small demo how to use the plugin
system of the \s-1CPAN\s0 shell, not a full fledged spec file writer. Do not
expect new features in this plugin.
