Class::MOP::Module(3)                      User Contributed Perl Documentation


NAME
       Class::MOP::Module - Module Meta Object

VERSION
       version 2.4000

DESCRIPTION
       A module is essentially a Class::MOP::Package with metadata, in our
       case the version and authority.

INHERITANCE
       Class::MOP::Module is a subclass of Class::MOP::Package.

METHODS
   Class::MOP::Module->create($package, %options)
       Overrides "create" from Class::MOP::Package to provide these additional
       options:

       "version"
           A version number, to be installed in the $VERSION package global
           variable.

       "authority"
           An authority, to be installed in the $AUTHORITY package global
           variable.

           This is a legacy field and its use is not recommended.

   $metamodule->version
       This is a read-only attribute which returns the $VERSION of the
       package, if one exists.

   $metamodule->authority
       This is a read-only attribute which returns the $AUTHORITY of the
       package, if one exists.

   $metamodule->identifier
       This constructs a string which combines the name, version and
       authority.

   Class::MOP::Module->meta
       This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
