=head1 NAME

inc::latest - use modules bundled in inc/ if they are newer than installed ones

=head1 VERSION

version 0.500

=head1 SYNOPSIS

# in Makefile.PL or Build.PL
  use inc::latest 'Some::Configure::Prereq';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<WARNING -- THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL MODULE>.  It was originally bundled
(as an experiment) with L<Module::Build> and has been split out for more
general use.

The C<inc::latest> module helps bootstrap configure-time dependencies for
CPAN distributions.  These dependencies get bundled into the C<inc>
directory within a distribution and are used by F<Makefile.PL> or F<Build.PL>.

Arguments to C<inc::latest> are module names that are checked against both
the current C<@INC> array and against specially-named directories in
C<inc>.  If the bundled version is newer than the installed one (or the
module isn't installed, then, the bundled directory is added to the start
of C<@INC> and the module is loaded from there.

There are actually two variations of C<inc::latest> -- one for authors and
one for the C<inc> directory.  For distribution authors, the C<inc::latest>
installed in the system will record modules loaded via C<inc::latest> and
can be used to create the bundled files in C<inc>, including writing the
second variation as C<inc/latest.pm>.

This second C<inc::latest> is the one that is loaded in a distribution
being installed (e.g. from F<Makefile.PL> or F<Build.PL>).  This bundled
C<inc::latest> is the one that determines which module to load.

=head2 Special notes on bundling

The C<inc::latest> module creates bundled directories based on the packlist
file of an installed distribution.  Even though C<inc::latest> takes module
name arguments, it is better to think of it as bundling and making
available entire I<distributions>.  When a module is loaded through
C<inc::latest>, it looks in all bundled distributions in C<inc/> for a
newer module than can be found in the existing C<@INC> array.

Thus, the module-name provided should usually be the "top-level" module
name of a distribution, though this is not strictly required.
C<inc::latest> has a number of heuristics to discover module names,
allowing users to do things like this:

use inc::latest 'Devel::AssertOS::Unix';

even though Devel::AssertOS::Unix is contained within the Devel-CheckOS
distribution.

At the current time, packlists are required.  Thus, bundling dual-core
modules may require a 'forced install' over versions in the latest version
of perl in order to create the necessary packlist for bundling.

=head2 Managing dependency chains

Before bundling a distribution you must ensure that all prerequisites are
also bundled and load in the correct order.

For example, if you need C<Wibble>, but C<Wibble> depends on C<Wobble>,
and you have bundled C<Module::Build>, your F<Build.PL> might look like this:

use inc::latest 'Wobble';
  use inc::latest 'Wibble';
  use inc::latest 'Module::Build';

Module::Build->new(
    module_name => 'Foo::Bar',
    license => 'perl',
  )->create_build_script;

Authors are strongly suggested to limit the bundling of additional
dependencies if at all possible and to carefully test their distribution
tarballs before uploading to CPAN.

=head1 USAGE

=head2 As bundled in inc/

Using L</Author-mode>, a special stub module will be created in your
distribute directory as F<inc/latest.pm>.  In your F<Makefile.PL> or
F<Build.PL>, you can then load C<inc::latest> to load bundled modules.

When calling C<use>, the bundled C<inc::latest> takes a single module name
and optional arguments to pass to that module's own import method.

use inc::latest 'Foo::Bar' qw/foo bar baz/;

The implementation is private.  Only the C<import> method is public.

=head2 Author-mode

When you have L<inc::latest> installed from CPAN, then you are in author-mode
if any of the Author-mode methods are available.  For example:

if ( inc::latest->can('write') ) {
    inc::latest->write('inc');
  }

Using author-mode, you can create the stub F<inc/latest.pm> and bundle
modules into F<inc>.

=item loaded_modules()

my @list = inc::latest->loaded_modules;

This takes no arguments and always returns a list of module names requested
for loading via "use inc::latest 'MODULE'", regardless of whether the load
was successful or not.

=item write()

inc::latest->write( 'inc' );

This writes the bundled version of inc::latest to the directory name given
as an argument.  It almost all cases, it should be 'C<inc>'.

=item bundle_module()

for my $mod ( inc::latest->loaded_modules ) {
    inc::latest->bundle_module($mod, $dir);
  }

If $mod corresponds to a packlist, then this function creates a
specially-named directory in $dir and copies all .pm files from the modlist
to the new directory (which almost always should just be 'inc').  For
example, if Foo::Bar is the name of the module, and $dir is 'inc', then the
directory would be 'inc/inc_Foo-Bar' and contain files like this:

inc/inc_Foo-Bar/Foo/Bar.pm

Currently, $mod B<must> have a packlist.  If this is not the case (e.g. for
a dual-core module), then the bundling will fail.  You may be able to
create a packlist by forced installing the module on top of the version
that came with core Perl.
