devel/p5-Module-Extract 0.01_2 DragonFly

Module::Extract is a convenience base class for creating module that work with Perl distributions. Its purpose is to take care of the mechanisms of locating and extracting a Perl distribution so that your module can do something specific to the distribution.

This module was originally created to provide an abstraction for the extraction logic for both Module::Inspector and Module::P4P and to allow additional features to be added in the future without having to modify both of them, because the general problem of "locate, download, and expand a distribution" is one that is almost ideal for adding additional features down the line.
