NAME

alias::module - Alias one module as another

VERSION

This document describes version 0.003 of alias::module (from Perl distribution alias-module), released on 2023-09-30.

SYNOPSIS

 package Your::Alias::Name;
 use alias::module 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

To avoid require()-ing:

 use alias::module '-norequire', 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

DESCRIPTION

This module aliases one module name to another.

 package Your::Alias::Name;
 use alias::module 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

is equivalent to:

 package Your::Alias::Name;
 BEGIN {
     $Package::Alias::BRAVE = 1;
     require Some::Real::Module::Name;
 }
 use Package::Alias 'Your::Alias::Name' => 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

except that this module does not use Package::Alias and is simpler. It is useful if you want to let users access a module's functionality under a different (usually shorter) name.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

 % prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
