-=head1 NAME
-
-perlmodlib - constructing new Perl modules and finding existing ones
-
-=head1 THE PERL MODULE LIBRARY
-
-Many modules are included in the Perl distribution. These are described
-below, and all end in F<.pm>. You may discover compiled library
-files (usually ending in F<.so>) or small pieces of modules to be
-autoloaded (ending in F<.al>); these were automatically generated
-by the installation process. You may also discover files in the
-library directory that end in either F<.pl> or F<.ph>. These are
-old libraries supplied so that old programs that use them still
-run. The F<.pl> files will all eventually be converted into standard
-modules, and the F<.ph> files made by B<h2ph> will probably end up
-as extension modules made by B<h2xs>. (Some F<.ph> values may
-already be available through the POSIX, Errno, or Fcntl modules.)
-The B<pl2pm> file in the distribution may help in your conversion,
-but it's just a mechanical process and therefore far from bulletproof.
-
-=head2 Pragmatic Modules
-
-They work somewhat like compiler directives (pragmata) in that they
-tend to affect the compilation of your program, and thus will usually
-work well only when used within a C<use>, or C<no>. Most of these
-are lexically scoped, so an inner BLOCK may countermand them
-by saying:
-
- no integer;
- no strict 'refs';
- no warnings;
-
-which lasts until the end of that BLOCK.
-
-Some pragmas are lexically scoped--typically those that affect the
-C<$^H> hints variable. Others affect the current package instead,
-like C<use vars> and C<use subs>, which allow you to predeclare a
-variables or subroutines within a particular I<file> rather than
-just a block. Such declarations are effective for the entire file
-for which they were declared. You cannot rescind them with C<no
-vars> or C<no subs>.
-
-The following pragmas are defined (and have their own documentation).

-
-To find out I<all> modules installed on your system, including
-those without documentation or outside the standard release,
-just use the following command (under the default win32 shell,
-double quotes should be used instead of single quotes).
-
- % perl -MFile::Find=find -MFile::Spec::Functions -Tlwe \
- 'find { wanted => sub { print canonpath $_ if /\.pm\z/ },
- no_chdir => 1 }, @INC'
-
-(The -T is here to prevent '.' from being listed in @INC.)
-They should all have their own documentation installed and accessible
-via your system man(1) command. If you do not have a B<find>
-program, you can use the Perl B<find2perl> program instead, which
-generates Perl code as output you can run through perl. If you
-have a B<man> program but it doesn't find your modules, you'll have
-to fix your manpath. See L<perl> for details. If you have no
-system B<man> command, you might try the B<perldoc> program.
-
-Note also that the command C<perldoc perllocal> gives you a (possibly
-incomplete) list of the modules that have been further installed on
-your system. (The perllocal.pod file is updated by the standard MakeMaker
-install process.)
-
-=head2 Extension Modules
-
-Extension modules are written in C (or a mix of Perl and C). They
-are usually dynamically loaded into Perl if and when you need them,
-but may also be linked in statically. Supported extension modules
-include Socket, Fcntl, and POSIX.
-
-Many popular C extension modules do not come bundled (at least, not
-completely) due to their sizes, volatility, or simply lack of time
-for adequate testing and configuration across the multitude of
-platforms on which Perl was beta-tested. You are encouraged to
-look for them on CPAN (described below), or using web search engines
-like Alta Vista or Google.
-
-=head1 CPAN
-
-CPAN stands for Comprehensive Perl Archive Network; it's a globally
-replicated trove of Perl materials, including documentation, style
-guides, tricks and traps, alternate ports to non-Unix systems and
-occasional binary distributions for these. Search engines for
-CPAN can be found at http://www.cpan.org/
-
-Most importantly, CPAN includes around a thousand unbundled modules,
-some of which require a C compiler to build. Major categories of
-modules are:

-=head1 Modules: Creation, Use, and Abuse
-
-(The following section is borrowed directly from Tim Bunce's modules
-file, available at your nearest CPAN site.)
-
-Perl implements a class using a package, but the presence of a
-package doesn't imply the presence of a class. A package is just a
-namespace. A class is a package that provides subroutines that can be
-used as methods. A method is just a subroutine that expects, as its
-first argument, either the name of a package (for "static" methods),
-or a reference to something (for "virtual" methods).
-
-A module is a file that (by convention) provides a class of the same
-name (sans the .pm), plus an import method in that class that can be
-called to fetch exported symbols. This module may implement some of
-its methods by loading dynamic C or C++ objects, but that should be
-totally transparent to the user of the module. Likewise, the module
-might set up an AUTOLOAD function to slurp in subroutine definitions on
-demand, but this is also transparent. Only the F<.pm> file is required to
-exist. See L<perlsub>, L<perlobj>, and L<AutoLoader> for details about
-the AUTOLOAD mechanism.
-
-=head2 Guidelines for Module Creation
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-Do similar modules already exist in some form?
-
-If so, please try to reuse the existing modules either in whole or
-by inheriting useful features into a new class. If this is not
-practical try to get together with the module authors to work on
-extending or enhancing the functionality of the existing modules.
-A perfect example is the plethora of packages in perl4 for dealing
-with command line options.
-
-If you are writing a module to expand an already existing set of
-modules, please coordinate with the author of the package. It
-helps if you follow the same naming scheme and module interaction
-scheme as the original author.
-
-=item *
-
-Try to design the new module to be easy to extend and reuse.
-
-Try to C<use warnings;> (or C<use warnings qw(...);>).
-Remember that you can add C<no warnings qw(...);> to individual blocks
-of code that need less warnings.
-
-Use blessed references. Use the two argument form of bless to bless
-into the class name given as the first parameter of the constructor,
-e.g.,:
-
- sub new {
- my $class = shift;
- return bless {}, $class;
- }
-
-or even this if you'd like it to be used as either a static
-or a virtual method.
-
- sub new {
- my $self = shift;
- my $class = ref($self) || $self;
- return bless {}, $class;
- }
-
-Pass arrays as references so more parameters can be added later
-(it's also faster). Convert functions into methods where
-appropriate. Split large methods into smaller more flexible ones.
-Inherit methods from other modules if appropriate.
-
-Avoid class name tests like: C<die "Invalid" unless ref $ref eq 'FOO'>.
-Generally you can delete the C<eq 'FOO'> part with no harm at all.
-Let the objects look after themselves! Generally, avoid hard-wired
-class names as far as possible.
-
-Avoid C<< $r->Class::func() >> where using C<@ISA=qw(... Class ...)> and
-C<< $r->func() >> would work.
-
-Use autosplit so little used or newly added functions won't be a
-burden to programs that don't use them. Add test functions to
-the module after __END__ either using AutoSplit or by saying:
-
- eval join('',<main::DATA>) || die $@ unless caller();
-
-Does your module pass the 'empty subclass' test? If you say
-C<@SUBCLASS::ISA = qw(YOURCLASS);> your applications should be able
-to use SUBCLASS in exactly the same way as YOURCLASS. For example,
-does your application still work if you change: C<< $obj = YOURCLASS->new(); >>
-into: C<< $obj = SUBCLASS->new(); >> ?
-
-Avoid keeping any state information in your packages. It makes it
-difficult for multiple other packages to use yours. Keep state
-information in objects.
-
-Always use B<-w>.
-
-Try to C<use strict;> (or C<use strict qw(...);>).
-Remember that you can add C<no strict qw(...);> to individual blocks
-of code that need less strictness.
-
-Always use B<-w>.
-
-Follow the guidelines in L<perlstyle>.
-
-Always use B<-w>.
-
-=item *
-
-Some simple style guidelines
-
-The perlstyle manual supplied with Perl has many helpful points.
-
-Coding style is a matter of personal taste. Many people evolve their
-style over several years as they learn what helps them write and
-maintain good code. Here's one set of assorted suggestions that
-seem to be widely used by experienced developers:
-
-Use underscores to separate words. It is generally easier to read
-$var_names_like_this than $VarNamesLikeThis, especially for
-non-native speakers of English. It's also a simple rule that works
-consistently with VAR_NAMES_LIKE_THIS.
-
-Package/Module names are an exception to this rule. Perl informally
-reserves lowercase module names for 'pragma' modules like integer
-and strict. Other modules normally begin with a capital letter and
-use mixed case with no underscores (need to be short and portable).
-
-You may find it helpful to use letter case to indicate the scope
-or nature of a variable. For example:
-
- $ALL_CAPS_HERE constants only (beware clashes with Perl vars)
- $Some_Caps_Here package-wide global/static
- $no_caps_here function scope my() or local() variables
-
-Function and method names seem to work best as all lowercase.
-e.g., C<< $obj->as_string() >>.
-
-You can use a leading underscore to indicate that a variable or
-function should not be used outside the package that defined it.
-
-=item *
-
-Select what to export.
-
-Do NOT export method names!
-
-Do NOT export anything else by default without a good reason!
-
-Exports pollute the namespace of the module user. If you must
-export try to use @EXPORT_OK in preference to @EXPORT and avoid
-short or common names to reduce the risk of name clashes.
-
-Generally anything not exported is still accessible from outside the
-module using the ModuleName::item_name (or C<< $blessed_ref->method >>)
-syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to
-indicate informally that they are 'internal' and not for public use.
-
-(It is actually possible to get private functions by saying:
-C<my $subref = sub { ... }; &$subref;>. But there's no way to call that
-directly as a method, because a method must have a name in the symbol
-table.)
-
-As a general rule, if the module is trying to be object oriented
-then export nothing. If it's just a collection of functions then
-@EXPORT_OK anything but use @EXPORT with caution.
-
-=item *
-
-Select a name for the module.
-
-This name should be as descriptive, accurate, and complete as
-possible. Avoid any risk of ambiguity. Always try to use two or
-more whole words. Generally the name should reflect what is special
-about what the module does rather than how it does it. Please use
-nested module names to group informally or categorize a module.
-There should be a very good reason for a module not to have a nested name.
-Module names should begin with a capital letter.
-
-Having 57 modules all called Sort will not make life easy for anyone
-(though having 23 called Sort::Quick is only marginally better :-).
-Imagine someone trying to install your module alongside many others.
-If in any doubt ask for suggestions in comp.lang.perl.misc.
-
-If you are developing a suite of related modules/classes it's good
-practice to use nested classes with a common prefix as this will
-avoid namespace clashes. For example: Xyz::Control, Xyz::View,
-Xyz::Model etc. Use the modules in this list as a naming guide.
-
-If adding a new module to a set, follow the original author's
-standards for naming modules and the interface to methods in
-those modules.
-
-If developing modules for private internal or project specific use,
-that will never be released to the public, then you should ensure
-that their names will not clash with any future public module. You
-can do this either by using the reserved Local::* category or by
-using a category name that includes an underscore like Foo_Corp::*.
-
-To be portable each component of a module name should be limited to
-11 characters. If it might be used on MS-DOS then try to ensure each is
-unique in the first 8 characters. Nested modules make this easier.
-
-=item *
-
-Have you got it right?
-
-How do you know that you've made the right decisions? Have you
-picked an interface design that will cause problems later? Have
-you picked the most appropriate name? Do you have any questions?
-
-The best way to know for sure, and pick up many helpful suggestions,
-is to ask someone who knows. Comp.lang.perl.misc is read by just about
-all the people who develop modules and it's the best place to ask.
-
-All you need to do is post a short summary of the module, its
-purpose and interfaces. A few lines on each of the main methods is
-probably enough. (If you post the whole module it might be ignored
-by busy people - generally the very people you want to read it!)
-
-Don't worry about posting if you can't say when the module will be
-ready - just say so in the message. It might be worth inviting
-others to help you, they may be able to complete it for you!
-

-
-README and other Additional Files.
-
-It's well known that software developers usually fully document the
-software they write. If, however, the world is in urgent need of
-your software and there is not enough time to write the full
-documentation please at least provide a README file containing:
-
-=over 10
-
-=item *
-
-A description of the module/package/extension etc.
-

-
-If the README file seems to be getting too large you may wish to
-split out some of the sections into separate files: INSTALL,
-Copying, ToDo etc.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-Adding a Copyright Notice.
-
-How you choose to license your work is a personal decision.
-The general mechanism is to assert your Copyright and then make
-a declaration of how others may copy/use/modify your work.
-
-Perl, for example, is supplied with two types of licence: The GNU GPL
-and The Artistic Licence (see the files README, Copying, and Artistic,
-or L<perlgpl> and L<perlartistic>). Larry has good reasons for NOT
-just using the GNU GPL.
-
-My personal recommendation, out of respect for Larry, Perl, and the
-Perl community at large is to state something simply like:
-
- Copyright (c) 1995 Your Name. All rights reserved.
- This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
- modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
-
-This statement should at least appear in the README file. You may
-also wish to include it in a Copying file and your source files.
-Remember to include the other words in addition to the Copyright.
-
-=item *
-
-Give the module a version/issue/release number.
-
-To be fully compatible with the Exporter and MakeMaker modules you
-should store your module's version number in a non-my package
-variable called $VERSION. This should be a positive floating point
-number with at least two digits after the decimal (i.e., hundredths,
-e.g, C<$VERSION = "0.01">). Don't use a "1.3.2" style version.
-See L<Exporter> for details.
-
-It may be handy to add a function or method to retrieve the number.
-Use the number in announcements and archive file names when
-releasing the module (ModuleName-1.02.tar.Z).
-See perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker.pm for details.
-
-=item *
-
-How to release and distribute a module.
-
-It's good idea to post an announcement of the availability of your
-module (or the module itself if small) to the comp.lang.perl.announce
-Usenet newsgroup. This will at least ensure very wide once-off
-distribution.
-
-If possible, register the module with CPAN. You should
-include details of its location in your announcement.
-
-Some notes about ftp archives: Please use a long descriptive file
-name that includes the version number. Most incoming directories
-will not be readable/listable, i.e., you won't be able to see your
-file after uploading it. Remember to send your email notification
-message as soon as possible after uploading else your file may get
-deleted automatically. Allow time for the file to be processed
-and/or check the file has been processed before announcing its
-location.
-
-FTP Archives for Perl Modules:
-
-Follow the instructions and links on:
-
- http://www.cpan.org/modules/00modlist.long.html
- http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html
-
-or upload to one of these sites:
-
- https://pause.kbx.de/pause/
- http://pause.perl.org/
-
-and notify <modules@perl.org>.
-
-By using the WWW interface you can ask the Upload Server to mirror
-your modules from your ftp or WWW site into your own directory on
-CPAN!
-
-Please remember to send me an updated entry for the Module list!
-
-=item *
-
-Take care when changing a released module.
-
-Always strive to remain compatible with previous released versions.
-Otherwise try to add a mechanism to revert to the
-old behavior if people rely on it. Document incompatible changes.

-=head2 Guidelines for Converting Perl 4 Library Scripts into Modules
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-There is no requirement to convert anything.
-
-If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Perl 4 library scripts should
-continue to work with no problems. You may need to make some minor
-changes (like escaping non-array @'s in double quoted strings) but
-there is no need to convert a .pl file into a Module for just that.
-
-=item *
-
-Consider the implications.
-
-All Perl applications that make use of the script will need to
-be changed (slightly) if the script is converted into a module. Is
-it worth it unless you plan to make other changes at the same time?
-
-=item *
-
-Make the most of the opportunity.
-
-If you are going to convert the script to a module you can use the
-opportunity to redesign the interface. The guidelines for module
-creation above include many of the issues you should consider.
-

-
-The pl2pm utility will get you started.

-=head2 Guidelines for Reusing Application Code
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-Complete applications rarely belong in the Perl Module Library.
-
-=item *
-
-Many applications contain some Perl code that could be reused.
-
-Help save the world! Share your code in a form that makes it easy
-to reuse.
-
-=item *
-
-Break-out the reusable code into one or more separate module files.
-
-=item *
-
-Take the opportunity to reconsider and redesign the interfaces.
-
-=item *
-
-In some cases the 'application' can then be reduced to a small
-
-fragment of code built on top of the reusable modules. In these cases
-the application could invoked as:
-
- % perl -e 'use Module::Name; method(@ARGV)' ...
-or
- % perl -mModule::Name ... (in perl5.002 or higher)
-

-
-=head1 NOTE
-
-Perl does not enforce private and public parts of its modules as you may
-have been used to in other languages like C++, Ada, or Modula-17. Perl
-doesn't have an infatuation with enforced privacy. It would prefer
-that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not
-because it has a shotgun.
-
-The module and its user have a contract, part of which is common law,
-and part of which is "written". Part of the common law contract is
-that a module doesn't pollute any namespace it wasn't asked to. The
-written contract for the module (A.K.A. documentation) may make other
-provisions. But then you know when you C<use RedefineTheWorld> that
-you're redefining the world and willing to take the consequences.
-
