| 1. DESCRIPTION |
| -------------- |
| |
| Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions, |
| increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C namespace |
| environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module, |
| typically F<ppport.h>, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API |
| features to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about |
| keeping track of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit. |
| |
| --------------- |
| 2. INSTALLATION |
| --------------- |
| |
| Installation of the Devel::PPPort module follows the standard Perl Way |
| and should not be harder than: |
| |
| perl Makefile.PL |
| make |
| make test |
| make install |
| |
| Note that you may need to become superuser to 'make install'. |
| |
| If you're building the module under Windows, you may need to use a |
| different make program, such as 'nmake', instead of 'make'. |
| |
