NAME

MakeMaker - generate a Makefile for Perl extension


SYNOPSIS

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;


DESCRIPTION

This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module from a Makefile.PL. It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines that can be individually overridden. Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to the Makefile.

The best way to learn to use this is to look at how some of the extensions are generated, such as Socket.
