📝 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.
