NAME
       tidy_changelog - command-line tool for CPAN::Changes

SYNOPSIS
           $ tidy_changelog Changelog

DESCRIPTION
       Takes a changelog file, parse it using CPAN::Changes and prints out the
       resulting output.  If a file is not given, the program will see if
       there is one file in the current directory beginning by 'change' (case-
       insensitive) and, if so, assume it to be the changelog.

ARGUMENTS
   --next
       If provided, assumes that there is a placeholder header for an upcoming
       next release. The placeholder token is given via --token.

   --token
       Regular expression to use to detect the token for an upcoming release
       if --next is used. If not explicitly given, defaults to
       "\{\{\$NEXT\}\}".

   --headers
       If given, only print out the release header lines, without any of the
       changes.

   --reverse
       Prints the releases in reverse order (from the oldest to latest).

   --check
       Only check if the changelog is formatted properly using the
       changes_file_ok function of Test::CPAN::Changes.
