  Description     : module for getting information about a perl module distribution

Dist::Metadata provides an easy interface for getting various metadata about
a Perl module distribution.

This is mostly a wrapper around CPAN::Meta providing an easy interface to
find and load the meta file from a tar.gz file. A dist can also be
represented by a directory or merely a structure of data.

If the dist does not contain a meta file the module will attempt to determine
some of that data from the dist.
