These dependencies get bundled into the inc directory within +a distribution and are used by Makefile.PL or Build.PL. + +Arguments to inc::latest are module names that are checked against both +the current @INC array and against specially-named directories in 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 @INC and +the module is loaded from there. + +There are actually two variations of inc::latest -- one for authors and one +for the inc directory. For distribution authors, the inc::latest installed +in the system will record modules loaded via inc::latest and can be used +to create the bundled files in inc, including writing the second variation +as inc/latest.pm. + +This second inc::latest is the one that is loaded in a distribution being +installed (e.g. from Makefile.PL or Build.PL). This bundled inc::latest is +the one that determines which module to load. +EOF |
