NAME¶
Module::Faker - build fake dists for testing CPAN tools
VERSION¶
version 0.017
SYNOPSIS¶
Module::Faker->make_fakes({
source => './dir-of-specs',
dest => './will-contain-tarballs',
});
DESCRIPTION¶
Module::Faker is a tool for building fake CPAN modules and, perhaps more
importantly, fake CPAN distributions. These are useful for running tools that
operate against CPAN distributions without having to use real CPAN
distributions. This is much more useful when testing an entire CPAN instance,
rather than a single distribution, for which see CPAN::Faker.
METHODS¶
make_fakes¶
Module::Faker->make_fakes(\%arg);
This method creates a new Module::Faker and builds archives in its destination
directory for every dist-describing file in its source directory. See the
"new" method below.
new¶
my $faker = Module::Faker->new(\%arg);
This create the new Module::Faker. All arguments may be accessed later by
methods of the same name. Valid arguments are:
source - the directory in which to find source files
dest - the directory in which to construct dist archives
dist_class - the class used to fake dists; default: Module::Faker::Dist
