DESCRIPTION

       Module::Starter::BuilderSet is a collection of utility methods used to provide metadata about builders supported by Module::Starter.

CLASS METHODS

   "new()"
       This method initializes and returns an object representing the set of Builders supported by Module::Starter

   "supported_builders()"
       This method returns a list of builders supported by Module::Starter

   "file_for_builder($builder)"
       This method returns the name of the file generated by Module::Starter that will be used to build the generated module

   "method_for_builder($builder)"
       This method returns the name of the method in the "Module::Starter::Simple" package that is called to create the file returned by
       "file_for_builder($builder)"

   "instructions_for_builder($builder)"
       This method returns a list of commands that, when run from the command line (or with "system()"), will cause the generated module to be
       built, tested and installed.

   "deps_for_builder($builder)"
       This method returns a list of dependencies in the following format: "( { command => "make",
	   aliases => [ 'make', 'gmake' ],

	  }, )"

   "manifest_method($builder)"
       This method returns the command to run to create the manifest according to the builder asked.

   "check_compatibility(@builders)"
       This method accepts a list of builders and filters out the ones that are unsupported or mutually exclusive, returning the builders that
       passed the filter.  If none pass the filter, the default builder is returned.

   "default_builder()"
       This method returns the module name of the default builder.
