1.0 SCOPE

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

1.1 Identification

This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that extend the capabilities of the Perl language.

1.2 System overview

This release adds United States Department of Defense (US DOD) Perl Plain Old Documentation (POD) derived from software related documents release by the US DOD to the general public.

These documents and the terminology used in these documents govern much of the Software Development including design, test, distribution, release, installation and use of software.

One area of praticular interest is development software that automates development tasks freeing up designers, technicians and other personell to concentrate on key development tasks.

Toward this end, two starting modules that make heavy references to the these 2167A documents are the following modules:

Test::STDmaker

Generates 2167A STD DID, demonstration script, and test script from a STD text database in a format consistent with DataPort::FileType::FormDB.

ExtUtils::SVDmaker

Generates 2167A SVD DID, MakeFile.PL, README, MANIFEST, updates file versions and creates .tar.gz distribution file from a SVD text database in a format consistent with DataPort::FileType::FormDB.

The dependency of the program modules in the US DOD STD2167A bundle is as follows:

 File::Package File::SmartNL File::TestPath Text::Scrub

     Test::Tech

        DataPort::FileType::FormDB DataPort::DataFile DataPort::Maker 
        File::AnySpec File::Data File::PM2File File::SubPM Text::Replace 
        Text::Column

            Test::STDmaker ExtUtils::SVDmaker

1.3 Document overview.

This document releases Docs-US_DOD-STD2167A version 0.06 and provides a description of the inventory, installation instructions and other information necessary to utilize and track this release.

3.0 VERSION DESCRIPTION

3.3 Changes

Changes are as follows:

Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.03

Version 0.02 loaded test file t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t but specified test file t/docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t. Works on case insensitive file specs OS such as MsDOS but fails on case sensitive file specs OS such as Unix

Changed the test file

From:

 t/docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t

To:

 t/Docs/US_DOD/STD2167A.t
Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.04 =item Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.05

Another case insensitive issue. The STrP has one lower case letter. Make changes so everything should match the case. Unix file specifications are case sensitive while Microsoft's are not.

Docs::US_DOD::STD2167A 0.06

Deleted SRR and SDR which since they are review, have not document.

Supplied contents for the following

 VDD.pm
 CRISD.pm
 CSOM.pm
 IDD.pm
