ExtUtils::MiniperPerl Programmers Reference ExtUtils::Miniperl(3)NAME
ExtUtils::Miniperl, writemain - write the C code for perl
main.c
SYNOPSIS
"use ExtUtils::Miniperl;"
"writemain(@directories);"
DESCRIPTION
This whole module is written when perl itself is built
from a script called minimod.PL. In case you want to patch
it, please patch minimod.PL in the perl distribution
instead.
writemain() takes an argument list of directories contain
ing archive libraries that relate to perl modules and
should be linked into a new perl binary. It writes to STD
OUT 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.
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.
