NAME

       Module::Install::AuthorTests - designate tests only run by module authors

VERSION

       0.002

COMMANDS

       This plugin adds the following Module::Install commands:

   author_tests
         author_tests('xt');

       This declares that the test files found in the directory ./xt should be run only if the
       module is being built by an author.  For an explanation, see below.

       You may declare multiple test directories by passing a list of tests.  Since tests are not
       recursive by default, it should be safe to use a subdirectory of ./t for author tests,
       like:

         author_tests('t/author');

   recursive_author_tests
         recursive_author_tests('xt');

       This acts like "author_tests", but will look for tests in directories below ./xt as well
       as in the directory itself.

HOW IT WORKS

       "Is this being run by an author?" is determined internally by Module::Install, but at the
       time of the writing of this version it's determined by the existence of a directory called
       .author in ./inc.  (On VMS, it's _author.)  This directory is created when
       Module::Install's Makefile.PL is run in a directory where no ./inc directory exists.
