SYNOPSIS

11

DESCRIPTION

13       See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
14       there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
15       the semantics.
16
17   Overridden methods
18       dlsyms
19       replace_manpage_separator
20           Changes the path separator with .
21
22       maybe_command
23           Since Windows has nothing as simple as an executable bit, we check
24           the file extension.
25
26           The PATHEXT env variable will be used to get a list of extensions
27           that might indicate a command, otherwise .com, .exe, .bat and .cmd
28           will be used by default.
29
30       init_DIRFILESEP
31           Using \ for Windows.
32
33       init_tools
34           Override some of the slower, portable commands with Windows
35           specific ones.
36
37       init_others
38           Override the default link and compile tools.
39
40           LDLOADLIBS's default is changed to $Config{libs}.
41
42           Adjustments are made for Borland's quirks needing -L to come first.
43
44       init_platform
45           Add MM_Win32_VERSION.
46
47       platform_constants
48       constants
49           Add MAXLINELENGTH for dmake before all the constants are output.
50
51       special_targets
52           Add .USESHELL target for dmake.
53
54       static_lib
55           Changes how to run the linker.
56
57           The rest is duplicate code from MM_Unix.  Should move the linker
58           code to its own method.
59
60       dynamic_lib
61           Complicated stuff for Win32 that I don't understand. :(
62
63       extra_clean_files
64           Clean out some extra dll.{base,exp} files which might be generated
65           by gcc.  Otherwise, take out all *.pdb files.
66
67       init_linker
68       perl_script
69           Checks for the perl program under several common perl extensions.
70
71       xs_o
72           This target is stubbed out.  Not sure why.
73
74       pasthru
75           All we send is -nologo to nmake to prevent it from printing its
76           damned banner.
77
78       arch_check (override)
79           Normalize all arguments for consistency of comparison.
80
81       oneliner
82           These are based on what command.com does on Win98.  They may be
83           wrong for other Windows shells, I don't know.
84
85       cd  dmake can handle Unix style cd'ing but nmake (at least 1.5) cannot.
86           It wants:
87
88               cd dir1\dir2
89               command
90               another_command
91               cd ..\..
92
93       max_exec_len
94           nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.
95
96       os_flavor
97           Windows is Win32.
98
99       cflags
100           Defines the PERLDLL symbol if we are configured for static building
101           since all code destined for the perl5xx.dll must be compiled with
102           the PERLDLL symbol defined.
