# [NAME](#NAME)

Module::Install::Deprecated - Warnings and help for deprecated commands

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

One of the nicest features of Module::Install is that as it improves, there is no need to take into account user compatibility, because users do not need to install Module::Install itself.

As a result, the Module::Install API changes at a faster rate than usual, and this results in deprecated commands.

"Module::Install::Deprecated" provides implementations of the deprecated commands, so that when an author is upgrading their Module::Install and they are using a deprecated command they will be told that the command has been deprecated, and what the author should use instead.

This extension should NEVER end up bundled into the distribution tarball.

# [COMMANDS](#COMMANDS)

## [c\_files](#c_files)

The "c\_files" command has been changed to "cc\_files" to reduce confusion and keep all compiler commands within a consistent "ff\_foo" naming scheme.

## [inc\_paths](#inc_paths)

The "inc\_paths" command has been changed to "cc\_inc\_paths" due to confusion between Perl and C.

## [lib\_paths](#lib_paths)

The "lib\_paths" command has been changed to "cc\_lib\_paths" due to confusion between Perl and C.

## [lib\_links](#lib_links)

The "lib\_links" command has been changed to "cc\_lib\_links" due to confusion between Perl and C.

## [optimize\_flags](#optimize_flags)

The "optimize\_flags" command has been changed to "cc\_optimize\_flags" for consistency reasons.
