NAME

Test::Legal - Check for copyright notices in distribution files and for LICENSE file

SYNOPSIS

 use Test::Legal;         

 copyright_ok;
 license_ok;

 Or, here is the more refined way to acomplish the same thing
 use Test::Legal  copyright_ok => { base=> $dir, dirs=> [qw/ sctipt lib /] } ,
                  license_ok => { base=> $dir, actions => [qw/ fix /]},
 ;

 # Note,  The  "actions=>['fix']"  automatically tries to fix things before they are tested.

DESCRIPTION

Checks for copyright notices in .pl and .pm distribution files, for author entry in META.yml
or META.json, and for LICENSE file.

You can add the copyright notices manually of use the copyright-injection.pl tool, supplied
with this module, to add, to remove, or to check for notices automatically before tests.

If "fix" mode is requested, some issues are automatically fixed so testing succeeds .
Currently available only for license_ok but not for copyright_ok . See TODO list.
