Module::Install::Admin - Author-side manager for Module::Install



NAME

Module::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 the Module::Install manpage and COOKBOOK / EXAMPLES in the Module::Install manpage 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:
