NAME

Test::Smoke::Policy - OO interface to handle the Policy.sh stuff.

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::Smoke::Policy;

    my $srcpath = File::Spec->updir;
    my $policy = Test::Smoke::Policy->new( $srcpath );

    $policy->substitute( [] );
    $policy->write;

DESCRIPTION

I wish I understood what Merijn is doeing in the original code.

METHODS

Test::Smoke::Policy->new( $srcpath )

Create a new instance of the Policy object. Read the file or take data from the DATA section.

$object->set_rules( $rules )

Set the rules for substitutions.

$object->reset_rules( )

Reset the _rules property.

$Policy->_do_subst( )

_do_subst() does the substitutions and stores the substituted version as the _new_policy attribute.

$object->write( )

$self->_read_Policy( $srcpath[, $verbose[, @ccflags]] )

_read_Policy() checks the $srcpath for these conditions:

Reference to a SCALAR Policy is in $$srcpath

Reference to an ARRAY Policy is in @$srcpath

Reference to a GLOB Policy is read from the filehandle

Other values are taken as the base path for Policy.sh

The @ccflags are passed to $self->default_Policy()

$policy->default_Policy( [@ccflags] )

Generate the default Policy.sh from a set of ccflags, but be backward compatible.
