# Class::MOP::Module(3pm)

Module Meta Object

## NAME

Class::MOP::Module - Module Meta Object

## VERSION

version 2.4001

## DESCRIPTION

A module is essentially a Class::MOP::Package with metadata, in our case the version and authority.

## INHERITANCE

**Class::MOP::Module** is a subclass of Class::MOP::Package.

## METHODS

### Class::MOP::Module-\>create($package, %options)

Overrides `"create"` from Class::MOP::Package to provide these additional options:

- "version"

  A version number, to be installed in the `$VERSION` package global variable.

- "authority"

  An authority, to be installed in the `$AUTHORITY` package global variable.

  This is a legacy field and its use is not recommended.

### $metamodule-\>version

This is a read-only attribute which returns the `$VERSION` of the package, if one exists.

### $metamodule-\>authority

This is a read-only attribute which returns the `$AUTHORITY` of the package, if one exists.

### $metamodule-\>identifier

This constructs a string which combines the name, version and authority.

### Class::MOP::Module-\>meta

This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
