| 16 | 1. DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 17 | --------------
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions,
|
|---|
| 20 | increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C namespace
|
|---|
| 21 | environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module,
|
|---|
| 22 | typically F<ppport.h>, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API
|
|---|
| 23 | features to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about
|
|---|
| 24 | keeping track of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit.

| 27 | 2. INSTALLATION
|

| 28 | ---------------
|

|
|---|
| 30 | Installation of the Devel::PPPort module follows the standard Perl Way
|
|---|
| 31 | and should not be harder than:
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | perl Makefile.PL
|
|---|
| 34 | make
|
|---|
| 35 | make test
|
|---|
| 36 | make install
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | Note that you may need to become superuser to 'make install'.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | If you're building the module under Windows, you may need to use a
|
|---|
| 41 | different make program, such as 'nmake', instead of 'make'.
