DESCRIPTION

The XML::XMetaL::Registry class has methods that provide shortcuts to some XMetaL Registry information.

At the moment, this class is definitely of the release early variety. It works, but there is a minimum of functionality.

 my $xmetal_registry = XML::XMetaL::Registry->new();

The constructor returns an XML::XMetaL::Registry object.

Class Methods

None.

xmetal_versions
