NAME

SYNOPSIS

    use CPAN::Testers::Common::Client;

    my $client = CPAN::Testers::Common::Client->new(
          author   => 'RJBS',
          distname => 'Data-UUID-1.217',
          grade    => 'pass',
    );

    # what you should send to CPAN Testers, via Metabase
    my $metabase_data = $client->populate;
    my $email_body    = $client->email;

Although the recommended way is to construct your object passing as much information as possible:

    my $client = CPAN::Testers::Common::Client->new(
          distname         => 'Data-UUID-1.217',
          author           => 'Ricardo Signes',
          grade            => 'pass',
          comments         => 'this is an auto-generated report. Cheers!',
          via              => 'My Awesome Client App 1.0',

          # you should provide at least 'test_output' to the author,
          # otherwise he/she won't know what went wrong!
          configure_output => '...',
          build_output     => '...',
          test_output      => '...',

          # same as in a META.yml 2.0 structure
          prereqs => {
              runtime => {
                requires => {
                  'File::Basename' => '0',
                },
                recommends => {
                  'ExtUtils::ParseXS' => '2.02',
                },
              },
              build => {
                requires => {
                  'Test::More' => '0',
                },
              },
              # etc.
          },
          # alternatively, if the dist is expanded in a local dir and has a Meta 2.0 {json,yml} file
          # you can just point us to the build_dir and we'll extract the prereqs ourselves:
          # build_dir => '/tmp/Data-UUID-1.217/'
    );
