DESCRIPTION

Test::Software::License it is intended to be used as part of your xt tests.

It now checks the META license and resources.license against Software::License, checking that the two correlate.

METHODS

  • all_software_license_ok

    This is the main method you should use, it uses all of the internal methods to check your distribution for License information. It checks the contents of scripts/bin along with lib, it expects to find META.[yml|json], just for good measure it checks for the presence of a LICENSE file.

            all_software_license_ok();

    If you want to check every perl file in your distribution has a valid license use the following, its brutal, good for finding CPANTS issues if that is your thing.

            all_software_license_ok({ strict => 1 });

    If you are trying to track down a issue you will get the best results with prove -lv

  • import
