Class::MOP::Module(3)

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

VERSION
version 2.1801

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.
