Module::Install::AdminUser Contributed Perl DocumentaModule::Install::Admin(3)NAMEModule::Install::Admin - Author-side manager for Module::Install
SYNOPSIS
In a Module::Install extension module:
sub extension_method {
my $self = shift;
$self->admin->some_method(@args);
}
As an one-liner:
% perl "-MModule::Install::Admin" -e'&some_method(@args);'
The two snippets above are really shorthands for
$some_obj->some_method(@args)
where $some_obj is the singleton object of a class under the
"Module::Install::Admin::*" namespace that provides the method
"some_method". See "METHODS" for a list of built-in methods.
DESCRIPTION
This module implements the internal mechanism for initializing,
including and managing extensions, and should only be of interest to
extension developers; it is never included under a distribution's inc/
directory, nor are any of the Module::Install::Admin::* extensions.
For normal usage of Module::Install, please see Module::Install and
"COOKBOOK / EXAMPLES" in Module::Install instead.
Bootstrapping
When someone runs a Makefile.PL that has "use inc::Module::Install",
and there is no inc/ in the current directory, Module::Install will
load this module bootstrap itself, through the steps below:
· First, Module/Install.pm is POD-stripped and copied from @INC to
inc/. This should only happen on the author's side, never on the
end-user side.
· Reload inc/Module/Install.pm if the current file is somewhere else.
This ensures that the included version of inc/Module/Install.pm is
always preferred over the installed version.
· Look at inc/Module/Install/*.pm and load all of them.
· Set up a "main::AUTOLOAD" function to delegate missing function
calls to "Module::Install::Admin::load" -- again, this should only
happen at the author's side.
· Provide a "Module::Install::purge_self" function for removing
included files under inc/.
