# ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive(3pm)

Hold methods used in modulemaker

## NAME

ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive - Hold methods used in modulemaker

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive;
    $mod = ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive->new(%standard_options);
    $mod->run_interactive() if $mod->{INTERACTIVE};
    ...  # ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::complete_build() called here

    $mod->closing_message();
```

## DESCRIPTION

This package exists solely to hold declarations of variables and methods used in *modulemaker*, the command-line utility which is the easiest way of accessing the functionality of Perl extension ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.

## METHODS

### "run\_interactive()"

This method drives the menus which make up *modulemaker*'s interactive mode. Once it has been run, *modulemaker* calls `"ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::complete_build()"` to build the directories and files requested.

### "closing\_message()"

Prints a closing message after `"complete_build()"` is run.  Can be commented out without problem.  Could be subclassed, and -- in a future version -- probably will be with an optional printout of files created.
