Dist::Metadata::Dir - Enable Dist::Metadata for a directory

version 0.927

  my $dm = Dist::Metadata->new(dir => $path_to_dir);

This is a subclass of Dist::Metadata::Dist to enable getting the dists metadata from a directory.

This can be useful if you already have a dist extracted into a directory.

It's probably not very useful on it's own though, and should be used from "new" in Dist::Metadata.

  $dist = Dist::Metadata::Struct->new(dir => $path);

Accepts a single 'dir' argument that should be a path to a directory.

Attempts to parse name and version from directory name.

Returns the "dir" attribute specified in the constructor.

Returns the content for the specified file.

Returns a list of the file names beneath the directory (relative to the directory).

Returns the "dir" attribute since this is already a directory containing the desired files.
