#pod =head1 DESCRIPTION
#pod
#pod This module extends L<Software::License> to give the possibility of specifying
#pod all aspects related to a software license in a custom file. This allows for
#pod setting custom dates, notices, etc. while still preserving compatibility with
#pod all places where L<Software::License> is used, e.g. L<Dist::Zilla>.
#pod
#pod In this way, you should be able to customise some aspects of the licensing
#pod messages that would otherwise be difficult to tinker, e.g. adding a note
#pod in the notice, setting multiple years for the copyright notice or set multiple
#pod authors and/or copyright holders.
#pod
#pod The license details should be put inside a file that contains different
#pod sections. Each section has the following format:
#pod
#pod =begin :list
#pod
#pod = header line
#pod
#pod This is a line that begins and ends with two underscores C<__>. The string
#pod between the begin and the end of the line is first depured of any non-word
#pod character, then used as the name of the section;
#pod
#pod = body
#pod
#pod a L<Text::Template> (possibly a plain text file) where items to be
#pod expanded are enclosed between double braces
#pod
#pod =end :list
#pod
#pod Each section is terminated by the header of the following section or by
#pod the end of the file. Example:
#pod
#pod __[ NAME ]__
#pod The Foo-Bar License
#pod __URL__
#pod http://www.example.com/foo-bar.txt
#pod __[ META_NAME ]__
#pod foo_bar_meta
#pod __{ META2_NAME }__

Software::License::Custom - custom license handler
=head1 VERSION
version 0.103013
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module extends L<Software::License> to give the possibility of specifying
all aspects related to a software license in a custom file. This allows for
setting custom dates, notices, etc. while still preserving compatibility with
all places where L<Software::License> is used, e.g. L<Dist::Zilla>.
In this way, you should be able to customise some aspects of the licensing
messages that would otherwise be difficult to tinker, e.g. adding a note
in the notice, setting multiple years for the copyright notice or set multiple
authors and/or copyright holders.
The license details should be put inside a file that contains different
sections. Each section has the following format:
=over 4
=item header line
This is a line that begins and ends with two underscores C<__>. The string
between the begin and the end of the line is first depured of any non-word
character, then used as the name of the section;
=item body
a L<Text::Template> (possibly a plain text file) where items to be
expanded are enclosed between double braces
=back
Each section is terminated by the header of the following section or by
the end of the file. Example:
__[ NAME ]__
The Foo-Bar License
__URL__
http://www.example.com/foo-bar.txt
__[ META_NAME ]__
foo_bar_meta
__{ META2_NAME }__
foo_bar_meta2
__[ NOTICE ]__

__[ LICENSE ]__

Yes, spanning more lines and more paragraphs.
The different formats for specifying the section name in the example
above are only examples, you're invited to use a consistent approach.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my $slc = Software::License::Custom->new({filename => 'LEGAL'});
Create a new object. Arguments are passed through an anonymous hash, the
following keys are allowed:
filename - the file where the custom software license details are stored
=head2 load_sections_from
$slc->load_sections_from('MY-LEGAL-ASPECTS');
Loads the different sections of the license from the provided filename.
Returns the input object.
=head2 section_data
my $notice_template_reference = $slc->section_data('NOTICE');
Returns a reference to a textual template that can be fed to
L<Text::Template> (it could be simple text), according to what is
currently loaded in the object.
=head1 MORE METHODS
The following methods, found in all software license classes, look up and
render the template with the capitalized form of their name. In other words,
the C<license> method looks in the C<LICENSE> template.
For now, the C<meta_name> and C<meta2_name> methods return C<custom> if called
on the class. This may become fatal in the future.
