NAME 
Parrot::Distribution - Parrot Distribution Directory
SYNOPSIS
use Parrot::Distribution;
my $dist = Parrot::Distribution->new();
DESCRIPTION
Parrot::Distribution knows all kinds of stuff about the contents of the distribution.
This is a subclass of Parrot::Docs::Directory so that it can be used to build the HTML docs. There may come a time when it is necessary to make file_class() and directory_class() dynamic so that different file methods can be used depending on the circumstances.
Class Methods
new()- Searches up the file system tree from the current working directory looking for the distribution directory, and returns it if it finds it. The search is only performed once.
- The criterion is that there should be a README file beginning with the words "This is Parrot" in the directory.
- Raises an exception if the distribution root is not found.
