NAME
       CPAN::Changes::Parser - Parse a CPAN Changelog file

SYNOPSIS
         my $parser = CPAN::Changes::Parser->new(
           version_like => qr/\{\{\$NEXT\}\}/,
           version_prefix => qr/=head\d\s+/,
         );

         my $changelog = $parser->parse_file('Changes', ':utf8');
         my $changelog = $parser->parse_string($content);

DESCRIPTION
       Parses a file or string into a CPAN::Changes object.  Many forms of
       change log are accepted.

ATTRIBUTES
   version_like
       A regular expression for a token that will be accepted in place of a
       version number.  For example, this could be set to "qr/\{\{\$NEXT\}\}/"
       if the Dist::Zilla plugin [NextRelease] is managing the file.

   version_prefix
       A regular expression for a prefix that will be matched before a version
       number.  "qr/=head\d\s+/" could be used if the change log is using Pod
       headings for the release headings.

METHODS
   parse_file
       Parses a file into a CPAN::Changes object.  Optionally accepts a string
       of layers to be used when reading the file.

   parse_string
       Parses a string into a CPAN::Changes object.
