NAME
    Data::Hopen - A dataflow library with first-class edges

    "Data::Hopen" is a dataflow library that runs actions you specify, moves
    data between those actions, and permits transforming data as the data
    moves.  It is the underlying engine of the App::hopen cross-platform
    software build generator, but can be used for any dataflow task that can
    be represented as a directed acyclic graph (DAG).

INSTALLATION
    Easiest: install "cpanminus" if you don't have it - see
    <https://metacpan.org/pod/App::cpanminus#INSTALLATION>.  Then run "cpanm
    Data::Hopen".

    Manually: clone or untar into a working directory.  Then, in that
    directory,

        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test

    (you may need to install dependencies as well - see
    <https://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html> for resources).  If all the
    tests pass,

        make install

    If some of the tests fail, please check the issues and file a new one if
    no one else has reported the problem yet.
