NAME

Perl::PrereqScanner::Scanner - something that scans for prereqs in a Perl document

VERSION

version 1.100

DESCRIPTION

This is a role to be composed into classes that will act as scanners plugged into a Perl::PrereqScanner object.

These classes must provide a scan_for_prereqs method, which will be called like this:

$scanner->scan_for_prereqs($ppi_doc, $version_requirements);

The scanner should alter the CPAN::Meta::Requirements object to reflect its findings about the PPI document.

PERL VERSION

This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
