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.
