This distribution contains two versions of the code: one maintenance version
for versions of perl < $value (known as 'maint'), and the version currently in
development (known as 'blead').  The standard build for your perl version is:

 perl Makefile.PL
 make
 make test
 make install

This will try to test and install the "blead" version of the code.  If the
Perl version does not support the "blead" version, then the running of the
Makefile.PL will *fail*.  In such a case, one can force the installing of
the "maint" version of the code by doing:

 perl Makefile.PL maint

Alternately, if you want automatic selection behavior, you can set the
AUTO_SELECT_MAINT_OR_BLEAD environment variable to a true value.  On Unix-like
systems like so:

 AUTO_SELECT_MAINT_OR_BLEAD=1 perl Makefile.PL

If your perl does not support the "blead" version of the code, then it will
automatically install the "maint" version of the code.

=head1 NAME

Devel::Required - automatic update of required modules documentation

=head1 VERSION

This documentation describes version 0.13.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; # check README and lib/Your/Module.pm
 eval "use Devel::Required";
 WriteMakefile (
  NAME         => "Your::Module",
  VERSION_FROM => "lib/Your/Module.pm",
  PREREQ_PM    => { 'Foo' => '1.0', 'Bar::Baz' => '0.05' }
 );

 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; # specify which files should be checked
 eval <<"CODE";
 use Devel::Required
   text => 'INSTALL',
   pod  => [ qw( lib/Your/Module.pod ) ],
 ;
 CODE
 WriteMakefile (
  NAME         => "Your::Module",
  VERSION_FROM => "lib/Your/Module.pm",
  PREREQ_PM    => { 'Foo' => '1.0', 'Bar::Baz' => '0.05' }
 );

 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; # specify maint / blead installation information
 eval "use Devel::Required maint_blead => 5.014";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Devel::Required module only serves a purpose in the development environment
of an author of a CPAN module (or more precisely: a user of the
L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> module).  It makes sure that any changes to the
required modules specified in the Makefile.PL are automatically reflected
in the appropriate text file and in the appropriate source files (either
explicitely or implicitely specified).

It takes the information given with the PREREQ_PM parameter and by default
writes this to the README file, as well as to the POD of the file specified
with the VERSION_FROM parameter.  Both these defaults can be overridden with
the "text" and "pod" parameters in the C<use Devel::Required> specification.

Optionally, it will also update installation information, specifically for
distributions that have a C<maint> and C<blead> version internally.

This module should B<only> be installed on the system of the developer.

=head1 FILES CHANGED

By default the following types of files will be changed:

=over 2

=item text file

A text file should at least have one of these marker texts:

 Version:                     <- must start at beginning of line
                              <- empty line
                              <- another empty line

 Required Modules:            <- must start at beginning of line
                              <- empty line
                              <- another empty line

Optionally it may have an "Installation:" marker:

 Installation:                <- must start at beginning of line
                              <- empty line
                              <- another empty line
                              <- yet another empty line

After Makefile.PL is executed (using the example of the L<SYNOPSIS>), the
above will be changed to:

 Version:                                    <- must start at beginning of line
  This documentation describes version #.##. <- added 
                                             <- empty line

 Required Modules:              <- must start at beginning of line
  Foo (1.0)                     <- added
  Bar::Baz (0.05)               <- added
                                <- empty line

 Installation:                  <- must start at beginning of line
 (extensive installation info)  <- added
                                <- empty line
                                <- another empty line

No changes will be made if none of the marker texts are not found.

If no "text" file specification is specified, then the file "README" in the
current directory will be assumed.

=item pod file

The pod file(s) that are (implicitely) specified, will be searched for
any marker texts that consist of the lines:

 =head1 VERSION               <- must start at beginning of line
                              <- empty line
 =(anything)                  <- any other pod directive

 =head1 REQUIRED MODULES      <- must start at beginning of line
                              <- empty line
 =(anything)                  <- any other pod directive

Optionally it may have an "INSTALLATION" marker:

 =head1 INSTALLATION          <- must start at beginning of line
                              <- empty line
 =(anything)                  <- any other pod directive

After Makefile.PL is executed (using the example of the L<SYNOPSIS>, the
above will be changed to:

 =head1 VERSION                              <- must start at beginning of line
                                             <- empty line
 This documentation describes version #.##.  <- added
                                             <- added
 =(anything)                                 <- any other pod directive

 =head1 REQUIRED MODULES                     <- must start at beginning of line
                                             <- empty line
  Foo (1.0)                                  <- added
  Bar::Baz (0.05)                            <- added
                                             <- added
 =(anything)                                 <- any other pod directive

 =head1 INSTALLATION                         <- must start at beginning of line
                                             <- empty line
 (extensive installation info)               <- added
                                             <- added
 =(anything)                                 <- any other pod directive

No changes will be made if none of the marker texts are not found.

If no "pod" file specification is specified, then the file specified with the
"VERSION_FROM" parameter of the call to C<WriteMakefile> will be assumed.

=back

=head1 SPECIFYING YOUR OWN FILES

It is possible to specify which text and which pod files should be searched
for the text markers and possibly updated.  The C<import> routine of
Devel::Required takes a list of parameters, each pair of which is considered
to be a key-value pair.  The following keys are recognized:

=over 2

=item text

The value of this parameter is either the name of the text file to check, or
a reference to a list with the names of one or more text files.

=item pod

The value of this parameter is either the name of a file containing pod to
check, or a reference to a list withe the names of one or more files containing
pod.

=back

=head1 ADDING MAINT / blead INSTALLATION INFORMATION

 use Devel::Required maint_blead => $version;

By specifying a version number with the <maint_blead> key, the text / pod
files will be searched for an "Installation" marker.  The value should be
the Perl version B<below> which the C<maint> version of the code should be
installed.

The actual installation text is more or less fixed, but may be adapted in
the future to provide more clarity for developers and packagers.

=head1 REQUIRED MODULES

 (none)

=head1 THEORY OF OPERATION

Loading this module steals the "WriteMakefile" subroutine of the calling
package and inserts its own logic for updating the necessary text-files.
The version information is read from the generated "Makefile".

modules in the README or in the POD.

should be changed.
