💖 ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive 💖

ok so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation set, bestie — it's the manpage for ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive, and we're gonna go through it together, no skipping, fr fr 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive — the lil package that just holds methods used in modulemaker 🌸

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive;

$mod = ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive->new(%standard_options);

$mod->run_interactive() if $mod->{INTERACTIVE};

...  # ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::complete_build() called here

$mod->closing_message();

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk: this package exists solely to hold the declarations of variables and methods that get used in modulemaker — which is the command-line utility, and also literally the easiest way of accessing the functionality of the Perl extension ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. it's giving utility belt energy 💅 no cap.

---

👑 METHODS 👑

🌈 run_interactive()

this method drives the menus — like, all the menus that make up modulemaker's interactive mode. once it has been run, modulemaker calls ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::complete_build() to build the directories and files that were requested. she runs the show, periodt ✨

💜 closing_message()

prints a closing message after complete_build() is run. lowkey you can comment it out with zero problems. could be subclassed — and, in a future version, probably will be — probably with an optional printout of files created. foreshadowing, bestie 👀
