.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A module is essentially a Class::MOP::Package with metadata, in our
case the version and authority.
.SH "INHERITANCE"

\&\fBClass::MOP::Module\fR is a subclass of Class::MOP::Package.

.IX Subsection "Class::MOP::Module->create($package, %options)"
Overrides \f(CW\*(C`create\*(C'\fR from Class::MOP::Package to provide these additional
options:
.ie n .IP """version""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWversion\fR" 4
.IX Item "version"
A version number, to be installed in the \f(CW$VERSION\fR package global variable.
.ie n .IP """authority""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWauthority\fR" 4
.IX Item "authority"
An authority, to be installed in the \f(CW$AUTHORITY\fR package global variable.
.Sp
This is a legacy field and its use is not recommended.
.ie n .SS "$metamodule\->version"
.el .SS "\f(CW$metamodule\fP\->version"
.IX Subsection "$metamodule->version"
This is a read-only attribute which returns the \f(CW$VERSION\fR of the
package, if one exists.
.ie n .SS "$metamodule\->authority"
.el .SS "\f(CW$metamodule\fP\->authority"
.IX Subsection "$metamodule->authority"
This is a read-only attribute which returns the \f(CW$AUTHORITY\fR of the
package, if one exists.
.ie n .SS "$metamodule\->identifier"
.el .SS "\f(CW$metamodule\fP\->identifier"
.IX Subsection "$metamodule->identifier"
This constructs a string which combines the name, version and
authority.
.SS "Class::MOP::Module\->meta"
.IX Subsection "Class::MOP::Module->meta"
This will return a Class::MOP::Class instance for this class.
