ExtUtils::Miniperl
NAME
ExtUtils::Miniperl - write the C code for perlmain.c
SYNOPSIS
- use ExtUtils::Miniperl;
- writemain(@directories);
- # or
- writemain($fh, @directories);
- # or
- writemain(\$filename, @directories);
DESCRIPTION
writemain()
takes an argument list of directories containing archive
libraries that relate to perl modules and should be linked into a new
perl binary. It writes a corresponding perlmain.c file that
is a plain C file containing all the bootstrap code to make the
modules associated with the libraries available from within perl.
If the first argument to writemain()
is a reference to a scalar it is
used as the filename to open for output. Any other reference is used as
the filehandle to write to. Otherwise output defaults to STDOUT
.
The typical usage is from within a Makefile generated by ExtUtils::MakeMaker. So under normal circumstances you won't have to deal with this module directly.
