SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Module::Info qw();
        my($object)=Meta::Module::Info->new();
        my($result)=$object->method();

DESCRIPTION

This module is here to extend the capablities of the CPAN module Module::Info.

First reason that I need this is that Module::Info returns same lists but in different order when using the modules_used and similar methods according to context at which the method was used which is bad (not consistant behaviour).

Other extensions may follow.

FUNCTIONS

        new_from_module($$)
        new_from_file($$)
        modules_used($)
        TEST($)

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

new_from_module($$)

This method overrides the Module::Info::new_from_module method and throws an exception if the aforementioned method fails.

new_from_file($$)

This method overrides the Module::Info::new_from_file method and throws an exception if the aforementioned method failes.

modules_used($)

This method overrides the original Module::Info implementation of it and sorts the result so the result returned is always consistant regardless of module usage pattern used before running the method (for consistency sake).

TEST($)

This is a testing suite for the Meta::Module::Info module. This test is should be run by a higher level management system at integration or release time or just as a regular routine to check that all is well.

SUPER CLASSES

Module::Info(3)

BUGS

None.
