 Software Version Description

 for

 Text::Column - Format tables from hashes and arrays suitable for PODs

 Revision: A

 Version: 0.02

 Date: 2003/07/27

 Prepared for: General Public 

 Prepared by:  SoftwareDiamonds.com E<lt>support@SoftwareDiamonds.comE<gt>

 Copyright: copyright © 2003 Software Diamonds

 Classification: NONE

=head1 1.0 SCOPE

This paragraph identifies and provides an overview
of the released files.

=head2 1.1 Identification

This release,
identified in L<3.2|/3.2 Inventory of software contents>,
is a collection of Perl modules that
extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

=head2 1.2 System overview

The "L<Text::Column|Text::Column>" module extends the Perl language (the system).

The US DOD 2167A software development standard creates and cites a
fully decent number of Data Item Descriptions (DID). 
A DID and US DOD 490A, Specification Practices, specify in
great detail the paragraph number, headings and the information
required for each paragraph in the document govern by the DID.

The usually approach is for suppliers of the DIDs to set up templates
and fill in the template with the missing information to complete the
DID document.

Different organizations use different degrees of automation. 
Some will have hard copy templates. Some will use word processor
templates. Others will use Visual Basic to merge database information
into a template. 

The methods in this module support a Perl automation of this processes.
by formatting raw array and hash data into tables for inclusion in PODS

providing a description of the inventory, installation
instructions and other information necessary to
utilize and track this release.

your other modules, maybe "Test::SVDMaker::Util" and
"Test::SVDMaker::Tech", as some routines do not seem to be specific
to the Test::-suite but rather general (format_array_table). Some
parts (the "scrub" routines) might even better live in another
module namespace, "Test::Util::ScrubData" or something like that.

Broke away the template and table routines from Test::TestUtil
created this module Test::STD::STDutil.

=back

=item Test-STD-STDutil-0.02

Use the new modules from the break-up of the "File::FileUtil" module

=item Text-Text-0.01

Broke up the "Test::STD::STDutil" module and moved it to more
appropriate places in the high level directory tree.

=item Text-Column-0.01

Changed name from Text::Table to Text::Column. Text::Table taken.

=item Text-Column-0.02

Change the test so that test support program modules resides in distribution
directory tlib directory instead of the lib directory. 
Because they are no longer in the lib directory, 
test support files will not be installed as a pre-condition for the 
test of this module.
The test of this module will precede immediately.
The test support files in the tlib directory will vanish after
the installtion.

=head2 3.4 Adaptation data.

This installation requires that the installation site
has the Perl programming language installed.
There are no other additional requirements or tailoring needed of 
configurations files, adaptation data or other software needed for this
installation particular to any installation site.

There are no related documents needed for the installation and
test of this release.

 None.


=item Security, privacy, or safety precautions.

contact

=head2 3.7 Possible problems and known errors

There is still much work needed to ensure the quality 
of this module as follows:

=over 4

=item *

State the functional requirements for each method 
including not only the GO paths but also what to
expect for the NOGO paths

=item *

All the tests are GO path tests. Should add
NOGO tests.

=item *

Add the requirements addressed as I<# R: >
comment to the tests

=item *

Write a program to build a matrix to trace
test step to the requirements and vice versa by
parsing the I<# R: > comments.
Automatically insert the matrix in the
Test::TestUtil POD.
