DESCRIPTION

Perl::Dist::Asset::Library is a data class that provides encapsulation and error checking for a "C library" to be installed in a Perl::Dist-based Perl distribution.

It is normally created on the fly by the <Perl::Dist::Inno> install_library method (and other things that call it).

Perl::Dist::Asset::Library is similar to Perl::Dist::Asset::Binary, in that it captures a name, source URL, and paths for where to install files.

It also takes a few more pieces of information to support certain more esoteric functions unique to C library builds.

The specification of the location to retrieve the package is done via the standard mechanism implemented in Perl::Dist::Asset.

METHODS

This class inherits from Perl::Dist::Asset and shares its API.
