+Description: Perl module to gather package and POD information from perl module files
+ Module::Metadata provides a standard way to gather metadata (like name,
+ version, list of packages, list of pod sections, ...) about a .pm file
+ through (mostly) static analysis and (some) code execution. When
+ determining the version of a module, the $VERSION assignment is evaled,
+ as is traditional in the CPAN toolchain.
