.SH "NAME"
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Initializers \- Methods used within "ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::new()" and "ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive::Main_Menu"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The methods described below are 'quasi\-private' methods which are called by
certain publicly available methods of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive.  They are 'quasi\-private' in the sense
that they are not intended to be called by the everyday user of
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.  Nothing prevents a user from calling these
methods, but they are documented here primarily so that users
writing plug-ins for ExtUtils::ModuleMaker will know what methods
need to be subclassed.  \fISince they are not part of the public interface, their
names and functionality may change in future versions of
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.\fR
.PP
The methods below are called in \f(CW\*(C`ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::new()\*(C'\fR but not in
that same package's \f(CW\*(C`complete_build\*(C'\fR.  For methods called in
\&\f(CW\*(C`complete_build\*(C'\fR, please see ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::StandardText.  Some of
the methods below are also called within methods in
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::Interactive.
.PP
Subclassers:  At ExtUtils::ModuleMaker's current state of development, it is 
recommended that you \fInot\fR subclass these methods but instead focus your
efforts on subclassing the methods in ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::StandardText.
The latter package's methods focus more closely on the structure and content
of the files built by ExtUtils::ModuleMaker.
.PP
Happy subclassing!
