NAME
       Module::Install::Admin - Author-side manager for Module::Install

SYNOPSIS
       In a Module::Install extension module:

	   sub extension_method {
	       my $self = shift;
	       $self->admin->some_method(@args);
	   }

       As an one-liner:

	   % perl "-MModule::Install::Admin" -e'&some_method(@args);'

       The two snippets above are really shorthands for

	   $some_obj->some_method(@args)

       where $some_obj is the singleton object of a class under the "Module::Install::Admin::*" namespace that provides the method "some_method".
       See "METHODS" for a list of built-in methods.

DESCRIPTION
       This module implements the internal mechanism for initializing, including and managing extensions, and should only be of interest to
       extension developers; it is never included under a distribution's inc/ directory, nor are any of the Module::Install::Admin::* extensions.

       For normal usage of Module::Install, please see Module::Install and "COOKBOOK / EXAMPLES" in Module::Install instead.

   Bootstrapping
       When someone runs a Makefile.PL that has "use inc::Module::Install", and there is no inc/ in the current directory, Module::Install will
       load this module bootstrap itself, through the steps below:

       o   First, Module/Install.pm is POD-stripped and copied from @INC to inc/.  This should only happen on the author's side, never on the end-
	   user side.

       o   Reload inc/Module/Install.pm if the current file is somewhere else.	This ensures that the included version of inc/Module/Install.pm is
	   always preferred over the installed version.

       o   Look at inc/Module/Install/*.pm and load all of them.

       o   Set up a "main::AUTOLOAD" function to delegate missing function calls to "Module::Install::Admin::load" -- again, this should only
	   happen at the author's side.

       o   Provide a "Module::Install::purge_self" function for removing included files under inc/.
