.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module allows CPAN authors to write automated tests to ensure their 
changelogs match the specification.
.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "changes_ok( )"
.IX Subsection "changes_ok( )"
Simple wrapper around \f(CW\*(C`changes_file_ok\*(C'\fR. Declares a four test plan, and 
uses the default filename of \f(CW\*(C`Changes\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .SS "changes_file_ok( $filename, \e%arg )"
.el .SS "changes_file_ok( \f(CW$filename\fP, \e%arg )"
.IX Subsection "changes_file_ok( $filename, %arg )"
Checks the contents of the changes file against the specification. No plan 
is declared and if the filename is undefined, \f(CW\*(C`Changes\*(C'\fR is used.
.PP
\&\f(CW%arg\fR may include a \fIversion\fR entry, in which case the entry for that
version must exist and have content.  This is useful to ensure that the version
currently being released has documented changes.
