Module::Build::Notes(3)              User Contributed Perl Documentation             Module::Build::Notes(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.

       auto_feature_names()
           Returns a list of all the names of features whose availability is dynamically determined, or in
           scalar context the number of such features.  Does not include such features that have later been
           set to a fixed value.

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