NAME

Test::CPAN::Changes - Validation of the Changes file in a CPAN distribution

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::More;
    eval 'use Test::CPAN::Changes';
    plan skip_all => 'Test::CPAN::Changes required for this test' if $@;
    changes_ok();

DESCRIPTION

This module allows CPAN authors to write automated tests to ensure their changelogs match the specification.

METHODS

changes_ok( )

Simple wrapper around changes_file_ok. Declares a four test plan, and uses the default filename of Changes.

changes_file_ok( $filename, \%arg )

Checks the contents of the changes file against the specification. No plan is declared and if the filename is undefined, Changes is used.

%arg may include a version entry, in which case the entry for that version must exist and have content. This is useful to ensure that the version currently being released has documented changes.
