M-M confused by Object::Pad's class syntax #33
Description
Object::Pad provides a new syntax for declaring packages that provide an object class, using the class keyword. This can also set the $VERSION of the package.
class Module::Name 1.23 {
...
}
class Another::Module 4.56;
...Currently Module::Metadata does not understand this syntax and fails to extract versions.
A workaround is to provide both a package and a class declaration, because doing so will not confuse Object::Pad but does mean the version is correctly extracted. E.g. see https://metacpan.org/source/PEVANS/Device-Chip-CC1101-0.03/lib/Device/Chip/CC1101.pm#L9-12:
package Device::Chip::CC1101 0.03 { }
class Device::Chip::CC1101
extends Device::Chip;
