# NAME

CPAN::Meta::Feature - an optional feature provided by a CPAN distribution

# VERSION

version 2.140640

# DESCRIPTION

A CPAN::Meta::Feature object describes an optional feature offered by a CPAN distribution and specified in the distribution's META.json (or META.yml) file.

For the most part, this class will only be used when operating on the result of the `feature` or `features` methods on a CPAN::Meta object.

# METHODS

## new

      my $feature = CPAN::Meta::Feature->new( $identifier => \%spec );

This returns a new Feature object. The `%spec` argument to the constructor should be the same as the value of the `optional_feature` entry in the distmeta. It must contain entries for `description` and `prereqs`.

## identifier

This method returns the feature's identifier.

## description

This method returns the feature's long description.

## prereqs

This method returns the feature's prerequisites as a CPAN::Meta::Prereqs object.

# BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature using the CPAN Request Tracker. Bugs can be submitted through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Queue=CPAN-Meta

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.
