1.0 SCOPE

This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released files.

1.1 Identification
This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

1.2 System overview
This release adds United States Department of Defense (US DOD) Perl Plain Old Documentation (POD) derived from software related documents release by the US DOD to the general public.

These documents and the terminology used in these documents govern much of the Software Development including design, test, distribution, release, installation and use of software.

One area of praticular interest is development software that automates development tasks freeing up designers, technicians and other personell to concentrate on key development tasks.

Toward this end, two starting modules that make heavy references to the these 2167A documents are the following modules:

Test::STDmaker

        Generates 2167A STD DID, demonstration script, and test script from
        a STD text database in a format consistent with
        DataPort::FileType::FormDB.

ExtUtils::SVDmaker

        Generates 2167A SVD DID, MakeFile.PL, README, MANIFEST, updates file
        versions and creates .tar.gz distribution file from a SVD text
        database in a format consistent with DataPort::FileType::FormDB.
        The dependency of the program modules in the US DOD STD2167A bundle
        is as follows:
         File::Package File::SmartNL File::TestPath Text::Scrub
             Test::Tech
                DataPort::FileType::FormDB DataPort::DataFile DataPort::Maker 
                File::AnySpec File::Data File::PM2File File::SubPM Text::Replace 
                Text::Column
                    Test::STDmaker ExtUtils::SVDmaker

1.3 Document overview.
This document releases Docs-US_DOD-STD2167A version 0.06 and provides a description of the inventory, installation instructions and other information necessary to utilize and track this release.

3.0 VERSION DESCRIPTION

3.3 Changes
Changes are as follows:

Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.03

        Version 0.02 loaded test file t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t but specified
        test file t/docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t. Works on case insensitive file
        specs OS such as MsDOS but fails on case sensitive file specs OS
        such as Unix
        Changed the test file
        From:
         t/docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t
        To:
         t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t

Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.04 =item Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.05

        Another case insensitive issue. The STrP has one lower case letter.
        Make changes so everything should match the case. Unix file
        specifications are case sensitive while Microsoft's are not.

Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.06

Deleted SRR and SDR which since they are review, have not document.

Supplied contents for the following

         VDD.pm
         CRISD.pm
         CSOM.pm
         IDD.pm

3.7 Possible problems and known errors None of the PODs contain any of the figures from the hard-copy versions. The following PODs do not contain any documents and an empty POD is included only to resolve links when the converted documents converted to PODs cites documents not converted to PODs:

     CDRL.pod
     CSCI.pod
     ECP.pod
     HWCI.pod
     SCN.pod
     SPM.pod
     SSD.pod

For Perl module releases, these documents may not be applicable. Many of them are for large software applications and complex systems involving both hardware and software while others establish format, legally binding, contractual requirements between the supplier and consumer of the data. Neither of these apply for this document.
