Module::Packaged::Generator::Module - a class representing a perl module

version 1.111040

This module represent a Perl module with various attributes. It should be used by the distribution drivers fetching the list of available modules.

Note that for dist to return a meaningful result, it needs the CPANPLUS index, which should exist if you already used CPANPLUS at least once.

This is the module name, such as Foo::Bar::Baz. It is required.

This is the module version. It isn't mandatory.

This is the CPAN distribution the module is part of. It's lazily built on first access, taken from the 02packages.details.txt.gz from CPANPLUS work directory. It will be eg Foo-Bar.

This is the name of the package holding this module in the Linux distribution. Chances are that it looks like perl-Foo-Bar on Mageia or Mandriva, libfoo-bar-perl on Debian, etc. It's required.
