Algorithm::Dependency:UserrContributed PAlgorithm::Dependency::Source::File(3)

NAME
       Algorithm::Dependency::Source::File - File source for dependency
       heirachys

DESCRIPTION
       Algorithm::Dependency::Source::File implements a source where the items
       are stored in a flat file or a relatively simple format.

   File Format
       The file should be an ordinary text file, consisting of a series of
       lines, with each line completely containing the information for a
       single item.  Blank lines, or lines beginning with the hash character
       '#' will be ignored as comments.

       For a single item line, only word characters will be used. A 'word
       character' consists of all letters and numbers, and the underscore '_'
       character.  Anything that is not a word character will be assumed to be
       a seperator.

       The first word will be used as the name or id of the item, and any
       further words in the line will be used as other items that this one
       depends on. For example, all of the following are legal.

	 # A single item with no dependencies
	 Foo

	 # Another item that depends on the first one
	 Bar Foo

	 # Depending on multiple others
	 Bin Foo Bar

	 # We can use different seperators
	 One:Two|Three-Four+Five=Six Seven

	 # We can also use multiple non-word characters as seperators
	 This&*&^*&File:  is& & & :::REALLY()Neat

       From the examples above, it should be easy to create your own files.

METHODS
       This documents the methods differing from the ordinary
       Algorithm::Dependency::Source methods.

   new $filename
       When constructing a new Algorithm::Dependency::Source::File object, an
       argument should be provided of the name of the file to use. The
       constructor will check that the file exists, and is readable, returning
       "undef" otherwise.
