=head1 NAME
Module::Find - Find and use installed modules in a (sub)category
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Module::Find;
# use all modules in the Plugins/ directory
@found = usesub Mysoft::Plugins;
# use modules in all subdirectories
@found = useall Mysoft::Plugins;
# find all DBI::... modules
@found = findsubmod DBI;
# find anything in the CGI/ directory
@found = findallmod CGI;
# set your own search dirs (uses @INC otherwise)
setmoduledirs(@INC, @plugindirs, $appdir);
# not exported by default
use Module::Find qw(ignoresymlinks followsymlinks);
# ignore symlinks
ignoresymlinks();
# follow symlinks (default)
followsymlinks();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Module::Find lets you find and use modules in categories. This can be very
useful for auto-detecting driver or plugin modules. You can differentiate
between looking in the category itself or in all subcategories.
If you want Module::Find to search in a certain directory on your
harddisk (such as the plugins directory of your software installation),
make sure you modify C<@INC> before you call the Module::Find functions.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over
=item C<setmoduledirs(@directories)>
Sets the directories to be searched for modules. If not set, Module::Find
will use @INC. If you use this function, @INC will I<not> be included
automatically, so add it if you want it. Set to undef to revert to
default behaviour.
=cut
sub
setmoduledirs {

@Module::Find::ModuleDirs

{

}
@_
;
}
=item C<@found = findsubmod Module::Category>
Returns modules found in the Module/Category subdirectories of your perl
installation. E.g. C<findsubmod CGI> will return C<CGI::Session>, but
not C<CGI::Session::File> .
=cut
sub
findsubmod(*) {
$prune
= 1;
return
_find(
$_
[0]);
}
=item C<@found = findallmod Module::Category>
Returns modules found in the Module/Category subdirectories of your perl
installation. E.g. C<findallmod CGI> will return C<CGI::Session> and also
C<CGI::Session::File> .
=cut
sub
findallmod(*) {
$prune
= 0;
return
_find(
$_
[0]);
}
=item C<@found = usesub Module::Category>
Uses and returns modules found in the Module/Category subdirectories of your perl
installation. E.g. C<usesub CGI> will return C<CGI::Session>, but
not C<CGI::Session::File> .
If any module dies during loading, usesub will also die at this point.

=item C<@found = useall Module::Category>

=head1 HISTORY
=over 8

Original version; created by h2xs 1.22
=item 0.02, 2004-05-25
Added test modules that were left out in the first version. Thanks to
Stuart Johnston for alerting me to this.
=item 0.03, 2004-06-18
Fixed a bug (non-localized $_) by declaring a loop variable in use functions.
Thanks to Stuart Johnston for alerting me to this and providing a fix.
Fixed non-platform compatibility by using File::Spec.
Thanks to brian d foy.
Added setmoduledirs and updated tests. Idea shamelessly stolen from
...errm... inspired by brian d foy.
=item 0.04, 2005-05-20
Added POD tests.
=item 0.05, 2005-11-30
Fixed issue with bugfix in PathTools-3.14.
=item 0.06, 2008-01-26
Module::Find now won't report duplicate modules several times anymore (thanks to Uwe VΓΆlker for the report and the patch)
=item 0.07, 2009-09-08
Fixed RT#38302: Module::Find now follows symlinks by default (can be disabled).
=item 0.08, 2009-09-08
Fixed RT#49511: Removed Mac OS X extended attributes from distribution
=item 0.09, 2010-02-26
Fixed RT#38302: Fixed META.yml generation (thanks very much to cpanservice for the help).
=item 0.10, 2010-02-26
Fixed RT#55010: Removed Unicode BOM from Find.pm.
=item 0.11, 2012-05-22
Fixed RT#74251: defined(@array) is deprecated under Perl 5.15.7.
Thanks to Roman F, who contributed the implementation.
=item 0.12, 2014-02-08
Fixed RT#81077: useall fails in taint mode
Thanks to Aran Deltac, who contributed the implementation and test.
Fixed RT#83596: Documentation doesn't describe behaviour if a module fails to load
Clarified documentation for useall and usesub.
Fixed RT#62923: setmoduledirs(undef) doesn't reset to searching @INC
Added more explicit tests.
Thanks to Colin Robertson for his input.
=item 0.13, 2015-03-09
This release contains two contributions from Moritz Lenz:
Link to Module::Pluggable and Class::Factory::Util in "SEE ALSO"
Align package name parsing with how perl does it (allowing single quotes as module separator)
Also, added a test for meta.yml
=item 0.14, 2019-12-25
A long overdue update. Thank you for the many contributions!
Fixed RT#99055: Removed file readability check (pull request contributed by Moritz Lenz)
Now supports @INC hooks (pull request contributed by Graham Knop)
Now filters out filenames starting with a dot (pull request contributed by Desmond Daignault)
Now uses strict (pull request contributed by Shlomi Fish)
Fixed RT#122016: test/ files show up in metacpan (bug report contributed by Karen Etheridge)
=item 0.15, 2019-12-26
Fixed RT#127657 (bug report contributed by Karen Etheridge): Module::Find now uses @ModuleDirs
(if specified) for loading modules. Previously, when using setmoduledirs() to set an array of
directories that did not contain @INC, Module::Find would find the modules correctly, but load
them from @INC.
=item 0.16, 2022-08-01
Fixes an issue where symlink tests failed on systems that do not support creation of symlinks.
The issue appears on Windows systems due to changed behaviour in C<File::Find> described
in L<perl5/issue #19995|https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/19995>
Symlink tests were previously skipped if C<symlink()> is not available, and now
also if creation of a symlink is not possible.
Fixes L<issue #9|https://github.com/crenz/Module-Find/issues/9>. Note that on Windows system,
the patch to C<File::Find> from L<perl5/PR #20008|https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/20008>
will be required for proper operation.
=item 0.17, 2025-02-16
Fixes L<issue 13|https://github.com/crenz/Module-Find/issues/13> / L<148978|https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=148978>
where warnings where produced upon extracting the installation archive, which prevented installation under cpanm and other tools.
