# Module::Install::Deprecated(3pm)

Warnings and help for deprecated commands

## NAME

Module::Install::Deprecated - Warnings and help for deprecated commands

## DESCRIPTION

One of the nicest features of Module::Install is that as it improves, there is no need to take into account user compatibility, because users do not need to install Module::Install itself.

As a result, the Module::Install API changes at a faster rate than usual, and this results in deprecated commands.

`"Module::Install::Deprecated"` provides implementations of the deprecated commands, so that when an author is upgrading their Module::Install and they are using a deprecated command they will be told that the command has been deprecated, and what the author should use instead.

This extension should NEVER end up bundled into the distribution tarball.

## COMMANDS

### c\_files

The `"c_files"` command has been changed to `"cc_files"` to reduce confusion and keep all compiler commands within a consistent `"ff_foo"` naming scheme.

### inc\_paths

The `"inc_paths"` command has been changed to `"cc_inc_paths"` due to confusion between Perl and C.

### lib\_paths

The `"lib_paths"` command has been changed to `"cc_lib_paths"` due to confusion between Perl and C.

### lib\_links

The `"lib_links"` command has been changed to `"cc_lib_links"` due to confusion between Perl and C.

### optimize\_flags

The `"optimize_flags"` command has been changed to `"cc_optimize_flags"` for consistency reasons.
