ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config - Wrapper around Config.pm
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions About MakeMaker
- DESCRIPTION
-
-
- Module Installation
- How do I install a module into my home directory?, How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the same place?, How do I keep from installing man pages?, How do I use a module without installing it?, PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook
- Philosophy and History
-
Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?, What is
Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?, pure perl. no make, no
shell commands, easier to customize, cleaner internals, less cruft - Module Writing
- How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?, What's this META.yml thing and how did it get in my MANIFEST?!, How do I delete everything not in my MANIFEST?, Which zip should I use on Windows for '[nd]make zipdist'?
- XS
- How to I prevent ``object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter Y.YY'' errors?, How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same directory?

- "code", "code_no_comments", "executable", "executable_no_comments", "quotelike", "string", "regex", "all"
- Filtering only the code parts of source code
- Most source code ceases to be grammatically correct when it is broken up into the pieces between string literals and regexes. So the 'code' and 'code_no_comments' component filter behave slightly differently from the other partial filters described in the previous section.
