NAME
Module::Build::ConfigData - Configuration for Module::Build

SYNOPSIS
  use Module::Build::ConfigData;
  $value = Module::Build::ConfigData->config('foo');
  $value = Module::Build::ConfigData->feature('bar');

  @names = Module::Build::ConfigData->config_names;
  @names = Module::Build::ConfigData->feature_names;

  Module::Build::ConfigData->set_feature(bar => $new_value);
  Module::Build::ConfigData->write;  # Save changes

DESCRIPTION
This module holds the configuration data for the "Module::Build" 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 "Module::Build::ConfigData" 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 "Module::Build::ConfigData", or in scalar context the number of items.

feature_names()
    Returns a list of all the names of features currently defined in "Module::Build::ConfigData", 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 "Module::Build::ConfigData" module.
