ExtUtils::Miniperl, writemain - write the C code for
perlmain.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 containing
archive libraries that relate to perl modules and should be
linked into a new perl binary. It writes to STDOUT a
corresponding perlmain.c file that is a plain C file con-
taining all the bootstrap code to make the modules associ-
ated 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.
