# Module::Starter::Plugin::InlineStore(3pm)

## NAME

Module::Starter::Plugin::InlineStore -- inline module template files

## VERSION

version 0.144

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Module::Starter qw(
   Module::Starter::Simple
   Module::Starter::Plugin::Template
   Module::Starter::Plugin::InlineStore
   ...
 );
 Module::Starter->create_distro( ... );
```

## DESCRIPTION

This Module::Starter plugin is intended to be loaded after Module::Starter::Plugin::Template.  It implements the `"templates"` method, required by the Template plugin.  The `"InlineStore"` plugin stores all the required templates in a single file, delimited with filenames between triple-underscores.  In other words, a very simple template file might look like this:

```
 ___Module.pm___
 package {modulename};
 1;
 ___Makefile.PL___
 die "lousy template"
```

Originally, this module was to use Inline::Files, or at least standard double-underscore indication of file names, but it's just simpler this way. Patches welcome.

## METHODS

### "templates"

This method reads in the template file (described above) and populates the object's `"templates"` attribute.  The module template file is found by checking the MODULE\_TEMPLATE\_FILE environment variable and then the "template\_file" config option.
