Dpkg::Changelog::Debian(3) parse Debian changelogs

DESCRIPTION

Dpkg::Changelog::Debian parses Debian changelogs as described in deb-changelog(5).

The parser tries to ignore most cruft like # or /* */ style comments, CVS comments, vim variables, emacs local variables and stuff from older changelogs with other formats at the end of the file. NOTE: most of these are ignored silently currently, there is no parser error issued for them. This should become configurable in the future.

METHODS

$c->parse($fh, $description)
Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it. Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with success.
