ExtUtils::MiniperPerleProgrammers RefereExtUtils::Miniperl(l) 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.
