Well, ideally Dpkg::Control::Info should not have ever done the
loading in the constructor.
But actually thinking about it, probably accepting IO::Handle does not
make sense, because it removes the distinction between ->parse() and
->load() and would make it annoying to also pass a description of
what the handle is to ->load() (so that error messages make sense).
So even though I had already both basic options implemented, I'm
thinking of only merging the one where you can declare filename => undef
and avoid the load, and can then use ->parse() normally. Or perhaps,
I'll add a load option as you suggested initially, and just deprecated
loading at constructor time, will ponder about it.
So, in essence, you will be able to do something like:
,---
my $control = Dpkg::Control::Info->new(filename => undef);
$control->parse($control_fh, $control_ref);
`---
which I think makes more sense.
Thanks,
Guillem
