CPAN::Meta::Feature \- an optional feature provided by a CPAN distribution
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
version 2.143240
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A CPAN::Meta::Feature object describes an optional feature offered by a \s-1CPAN\s0
distribution and specified in the distribution's \fI\s-1META\s0.json\fR (or \fI\s-1META\s0.yml\fR)
file.
.PP
For the most part, this class will only be used when operating on the result of
the \f(CW\*(C`feature\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`features\*(C'\fR methods on a CPAN::Meta object.

.Vb 1
\&  my $feature = CPAN::Meta::Feature\->new( $identifier => \e%spec );
.Ve
.PP
This returns a new Feature object.  The \f(CW%spec\fR argument to the constructor
should be the same as the value of the \f(CW\*(C`optional_feature\*(C'\fR entry in the
distmeta.  It must contain entries for \f(CW\*(C`description\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`prereqs\*(C'\fR.
.SS "identifier"
.IX Subsection "identifier"
This method returns the feature's identifier.
.SS "description"
.IX Subsection "description"
This method returns the feature's long description.
.SS "prereqs"
.IX Subsection "prereqs"
This method returns the feature's prerequisites as a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs
object.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
Please report any bugs or feature using the \s-1CPAN\s0 Request Tracker.
Bugs can be submitted through the web interface at
<http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=CPAN\-Meta>
.PP
When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch to an
existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature.
