.SH "NAME"
Config::Any::Base \- Base class for loaders
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a base class for all loaders. It currently handles the specification
of dependencies in order to ensure the subclass can load the config file
format.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "is_supported( )"
.IX Subsection "is_supported( )"
Allows us to determine if the file format can be loaded. The can be done via
one of two subclass methods:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`requires_all_of()\*(C'\fR \- returns an array of items that must all be present in order to work
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`requires_any_of()\*(C'\fR \- returns an array of items in which at least one must be present
.PP
You can specify a module version by passing an array reference in the return.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    sub requires_all_of { [ \*(AqMy::Module\*(Aq, \*(Aq1.1\*(Aq ], \*(AqMy::OtherModule\*(Aq }
.Ve
.PP
Lack of specifying these subs will assume you require no extra modules to function.
