NAME

6       ExtUtils::MM_Win32 - methods to override UN*X behaviour in ExtU‐
7       tils::MakeMaker

SYNOPSIS

10        use ExtUtils::MM_Win32; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
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
19       dlsyms
20       replace_manpage_separator
21           Changes the path separator with .
22
23       maybe_command
24           Since Windows has nothing as simple as an executable bit, we check
25           the file extension.
26
27           The PATHEXT env variable will be used to get a list of extensions
28           that might indicate a command, otherwise .com, .exe, .bat and .cmd
29           will be used by default.
30
31       init_DIRFILESEP
32           Using \ for Windows.
33
34       init_others
35           Override some of the Unix specific commands with portable ExtU‐
36           tils::Command ones.
37
38           Also provide defaults for LD and AR in case the %Config values
39           aren't set.
40
41           LDLOADLIBS's default is changed to $Config{libs}.
42
43           Adjustments are made for Borland's quirks needing -L to come first.
44
45       init_platform
46           Add MM_Win32_VERSION.
47
48       platform_constants
49       special_targets
50           Add .USESHELL target for dmake.
51
52       static_lib
53           Changes how to run the linker.
54
55           The rest is duplicate code from MM_Unix.  Should move the linker
56           code to its own method.
57
58       dynamic_lib
59           Complicated stuff for Win32 that I don't understand. :(
60
61       extra_clean_files
62           Clean out some extra dll.{base,exp} files which might be generated
63           by gcc.  Otherwise, take out all *.pdb files.
64
65       init_linker
66       perl_script
67           Checks for the perl program under several common perl extensions.
68
69       xs_o
70           This target is stubbed out.  Not sure why.
71
72       pasthru
73           All we send is -nologo to nmake to prevent it from printing its
74           damned banner.
75
76       oneliner
77           These are based on what command.com does on Win98.  They may be
78           wrong for other Windows shells, I don't know.
79
80       cd  dmake can handle Unix style cd'ing but nmake (at least 1.5) cannot.
81           It wants:
82
83               cd dir
84               command
85               another_command
86               cd ..
87
88           NOTE This cd can only go one level down.  So far this sufficient
89           for what MakeMaker needs.
90
91       max_exec_len
92           nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.
93
94       os_flavor
95           Windows is Win32.
