Module::Build::Base(3)

NAME
$notes_name - Configuration for $module_name

SYNOPSIS
  use $notes_name;
  \$value = $notes_name->config('foo');
  \$value = $notes_name->feature('bar');

  \@names = $notes_name->config_names;
  \@names = $notes_name->feature_names;

  $notes_name->set_config(foo => \$new_value);
  $notes_name->set_feature(bar => \$new_value);
  $notes_name->write;  # Save changes

DESCRIPTION
This module holds the configuration data for the $module_name module. It also provides a programmatic interface for getting or setting that configuration data. Note that in order to actually make changes, you'll have to have write access to the $notes_name module, and you should attempt to understand the repercussions of your actions.

METHODS

config(\$name)
    Given a string argument, returns the value of the configuration item by that name, or "undef" if no such item exists.

feature(\$name)
    Given a string argument, returns the value of the feature by that name, or "undef" if no such feature exists.

set_config(\$name, \$value)
    Sets the configuration item with the given name to the given value. The value may be any Perl scalar that will serialize correctly using "Data::Dumper". This includes references, objects (usually), and complex data structures. It probably does not include transient things like filehandles or sockets.

set_feature(\$name, \$value)
    Sets the feature with the given name to the given boolean value. The value will be converted to 0 or 1 automatically.

config_names()
    Returns a list of all the names of config items currently defined in $notes_name, or in scalar context the number of items.

feature_names()
    Returns a list of all the names of features currently defined in $notes_name, or in scalar context the number of features.

write()
    Commits any changes from "set_config()" and "set_feature()" to disk. Requires write access to the $notes_name module.

AUTHOR
$notes_name was automatically created using "Module::Build". "Module::Build" was written by Ken Williams, but he holds no authorship claim or copyright claim to the contents of $notes_name.

NAME
Module::Build::Base - Default methods for Module::Build

SYNOPSIS
  Please see the Module::Build documentation.

DESCRIPTION
The "Module::Build::Base" module defines the core functionality of "Module::Build". Its methods may be overridden by any of the platform-dependent modules in the "Module::Build::Platform::" namespace, but the intention here is to make this base module as platform-neutral as possible. Nicely enough, Perl has several core tools available in the "File::" namespace for doing this, so the task isn't very difficult.

Please see the "Module::Build" documentation for more details.
