It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by Andy Dougherty +and the perl5-porters. + +It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines that +can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text it wishes to +have written to the Makefile. + +MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current directory that +contains a Makefile.PL is treated as a separate object. This makes it possible +to write an unlimited number of Makefiles with a single invocation of +WriteMakefile(). + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/ |
