NAME

ShipIt::ProjectType - abstract base class for different types of projects

OVERVIEW

Different types of projects (Perl, C, ...) have different conventions and quirks which this abstract base class aims to hide.

SYNOPSIS

 $ver = $pt->find_version;
 $pt->update_version("1.53");
 $pt->disttest;

METHODS

find_version

update_version($new_ver)
