Debian::Control::Stanza::CommaSeparated - comma separated debian/control field abstraction

       new (initial values)
           The  initial  values  list  is parsed and may contain strings that are in fact comma-separated lists.
           These are split appropriately using Text::ParseWords' quotewords routine.

       Debian::Control::Stanza::CommaSeparated abstracts handling of comma-separated list of values, often found
       in debian/control file fields like Uploaders.  Note that the various dependency fields in debian/control
       also use comma-separated values, but the Debian::Dependencies class is more suitable for these as it is
       for example also capable of finding overlapping dependency declarations.

       as_string
           Returns text representation of the list. A simple join of the elements by ", ".

           The same function is used for overloading the stringification operation.

       add @items
           Adds the given items to the list. Items that are already present are  not  added,  keeping  the  list
           unique.

       sort
           A handy method for sorting the list.
