NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     ExtUtils::Miniperl, writemain - write the C code for perlmain.c

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     use ExtUtils::Miniperl;

     writemain(@directories);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This whole	module is written when perl itself is built from a script
     called minimod.PL.	In case	you want to patch it, please patch minimod.PL
     in	the perl distribution instead.

     writemain() takes an argument list	of directories containing archive
     libraries that relate to perl modules and should be linked	into a new
     perl binary. It writes to STDOUT a	corresponding perlmain.c file that is
     a plain C file containing all the bootstrap code to make the modules
     associated	with the libraries available from within perl.

     The typical usage is from within a	Makefile generated by
     ExtUtils::MakeMaker. So under normal circumstances	you won't have to deal
     with this module directly.
