SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

Debian::Copyright::Stanza::OrSeparated abstracts handling of the License fields in Files blocks, which are lists separated by 'or'.

CONSTRUCTOR¶

new (initial values)¶

The initial values list is parsed and may contain strings that are in fact 'or'-separated lists. These are split appropriately using Text::ParseWords' "quotewords" routine.

METHODS¶

as_string¶

Returns text representation of the list. A simple join of the elements by " or ". The same function is used for overloading the stringification operation.

equals¶

Natural implementation of the equality function.

add @items¶

Adds the given items to the list. Items that are already present are not added, keeping the list unique.

sort¶

A handy method for sorting the list.
