NAME

6       Module::Install::Admin - Author-side manager for Module::Install
7

SYNOPSIS

9       In a Module::Install extension module:
10
11           sub extension_method {
12               my $self = shift;
13               $self->admin->some_method(@args);
14           }
15
16       As an one-liner:
17
18           % perl "-MModule::Install::Admin" -e'&some_method(@args);'
19
20       The two snippets above are really shorthands for
21
22           $some_obj->some_method(@args)
23
24       where $some_obj is the singleton object of a class under the
25       "Module::Install::Admin::*" namespace that provides the method
26       "some_method".  See "METHODS" for a list of built-in methods.

DESCRIPTION

29       This module implements the internal mechanism for initializing,
30       including and managing extensions, and should only be of interest to
31       extension developers; it is never included under a distribution's inc/
32       directory, nor are any of the Module::Install::Admin::* extensions.
33
34       For normal usage of Module::Install, please see Module::Install and
35       "COOKBOOK / EXAMPLES" in Module::Install instead.
36
37   Bootstrapping
38       When someone runs a Makefile.PL that has "use inc::Module::Install",
39       and there is no inc/ in the current directory, Module::Install will
40       load this module bootstrap itself, through the steps below:
41
42       ·   First, Module/Install.pm is POD-stripped and copied from @INC to
43           inc/.  This should only happen on the author's side, never on the
44           end-user side.
45
46       ·   Reload inc/Module/Install.pm if the current file is somewhere else.
47           This ensures that the included version of inc/Module/Install.pm is
48           always preferred over the installed version.
49
50       ·   Look at inc/Module/Install/*.pm and load all of them.
51
52       ·   Set up a "main::AUTOLOAD" function to delegate missing function
53           calls to "Module::Install::Admin::load" -- again, this should only
54           happen at the author's side.
55
56       ·   Provide a "Module::Install::purge_self" function for removing
57           included files under inc/.
