NAME
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Initializers - Methods used within "ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::new()" and "ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive::Main_Menu"
DESCRIPTION
The methods described below are 'quasi-private' methods which are called by certain publicly available methods of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive. They are 'quasi-private' in the sense that they are not intended to be called by the everyday user of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. Nothing prevents a user from calling these methods, but they are documented here primarily so that users writing plug-ins for ExtUtils::ModuleMaker will know what methods need to be subclassed. Since they are not part of the public interface, their names and functionality may change in future versions of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. The methods below are called in "ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::new()" but not in that same package's "complete_build". For methods called in "complete_build", please see ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::StandardText. Some of the methods below are also called within methods in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive. Subclassers: At ExtUtils::ModuleMaker's current state of development, it is recommended that you not subclass these methods but instead focus your efforts on subclassing the methods in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::StandardText. The latter package's methods focus more closely on the structure and content of the files built by ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. Happy subclassing!
