=head1 NAME

MetaCPAN::Helper - a MetaCPAN client that provides some high-level helper functions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use MetaCPAN::Helper;

 my $helper   = MetaCPAN::Helper->new();
 my $module   = 'MetaCPAN::Client';
 my $distname = $helper->module2dist($module);
 print "$module is in dist '$distname'\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a helper class built on top of L,
providing methods which provide simple high-level functions for answering
common "CPAN lookup questions".

B: this is an early release, and the interface is likely to change.
Feedback on the interface is very welcome.

You could just use L directly yourself,
which might make sense in a larger application.
This class is aimed at people writing smaller one-off scripts.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 module2dist( $MODULE_NAME | $MODULE_OBJ )

Takes the name of a module or a L object,
and returns the name of the distribution which
I contains that module, according to the MetaCPAN API.

At the moment this will ignore any developer releases,
and take the latest non-developer release of the module.

If the distribution name in the dist's metadata doesn't match the
name produced by L, then be aware that this method
returns the name according to C.
This doesn't happen very often (less than 0.5% of CPAN distributions).

=head2 dist2releases( $DIST_NAME | $DIST_OBJ )

Takes the name of a distribution or a L object,
and returns the L iterator of all releases
(as L objects)
associated with that distribution.

=head2 dist2latest_release( $DIST_NAME | $DIST_OBJ )

Takes the name of a distribution or a L object,
and returns the L
object of the "latest" release of that distribution.
