6       Module::Install::Base - Base class for Module::Install extensions
7

SYNOPSIS

9       In a Module::Install extension:
10
11           use Module::Install::Base;
12           @ISA = qw(Module::Install::Base);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This module provide essential methods for all Module::Install exten‐
16       sions, in particular the common constructor "new" and method dispatcher
17       "AUTOLOAD".
18

METHODS

20       new(%args)
21           Constructor -- need to preserve at least _top
22
23       AUTOLOAD
24           The main dispatcher - copy extensions if missing
25
26       _top()
27           Returns the top-level Module::Install object.
28
29       admin()
30           Returns the "_top" object's associated Module::Install::Admin
31           object on the first run (i.e. when there was no inc/ when the pro‐
32           gram started); on subsequent (user-side) runs, returns a fake admin
33           object with an empty "AUTOLOAD" method that does nothing at all.
