# CPAN::Kwalify(3p)

Interface between CPAN.pm and Kwalify.pm

## NAME

CPAN::Kwalify - Interface between CPAN.pm and Kwalify.pm

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use CPAN::Kwalify;
  validate($schema_name, $data, $file, $doc);
```

## DESCRIPTION

- \_validate($schema\_name, $data, $file, $doc)

  `$schema_name` is the name of a supported schema. Currently only `"distroprefs"` is supported. `$data` is the data to be validated. `$file` is the absolute path to the file the data are coming from. `$doc` is the index of the document within `$doc` that is to be validated. The last two arguments are only there for better error reporting.

  Relies on being called from within CPAN.pm.

  Dies if something fails. Does not return anything useful.

- yaml($schema\_name)

  Returns the YAML text of that schema. Dies if something fails.
