17 "writemain()" takes an argument list of zero or more directories
18 containing archive libraries that relate to perl modules and should be
19 linked into a new perl binary. It writes a corresponding miniperlmain.c
20 or perlmain.c file that is a plain C file containing all the bootstrap
21 code to make the modules associated with the libraries available from
22 within perl. If the first argument to "writemain()" is a reference to
23 a scalar it is used as the filename to open for output. Any other
24 reference is used as the filehandle to write to. Otherwise output
25 defaults to "STDOUT".
26
27 The typical usage is from within perl's own Makefile (to build
28 perlmain.c) or from regen/miniperlmain.pl (to build miniperlmain.c).
29 So under normal circumstances you won't have to deal with this module
30 directly.
