Module::Install::Admin - Author-side manager for Module::Install
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.
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 the Module::Install manpage and the Module::Install-Cookbook manpage instead.
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:
@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/.
