NAME

Test::Legal - Test and (optionally) fix copyright notices, LICENSE file, and relevant field of META file

SYNOPSIS

 use Test::Legal;         

 copyright_ok;
 license_ok;

 # Or, to fix things at the same time
 use Test::Legal  -core  => { actions =>['fix']};


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


 # Note,  The  "actions=>['fix']"  automatically fixes things so it can pass testing

DESCRIPTION

  Checks for (a) copyright notices in .pl and .pm distribution files; (b) for author entry 
in META.yml or META.json, which ever peresent; and (c) for existence of LICENSE file, with the
correct license text autogenerate if so desired.

  Although you can alwyas add copyright notices manually to files, Test::Legal can fix things
for you if operated in 'fix' mode (see bellow); alternatively, use the tools available in
script/ named copyright-injection.pl an license-injection.pl .

Fix mode

When "fix" mode is requested, most issues are automatically fixed so testing succeeds 
with a harmless note() send to Test::Harness.
