Subject: [PATCH 01/47] Fix Module::Runtime test failures: #line directive,
 hints hash, reload message

Three fixes that reduce Module::Runtime test failures from 23 to 8:

1. Honor #line directive in use statement caller info
   - parseUseDeclaration now uses getSourceLocationAccurate() to get the
     #line-adjusted filename and line number for CallerStack.push()
   - Fixes t/import_error.t tests where eval'd use statements with #line
     directives were reporting wrong locations

2. Prevent %^H hints hash from leaking into require'd modules
   - doFile() now saves, clears, and restores %^H around PerlLanguageProvider.executePerlCode()
   - In Perl >= 5.11 (which we emulate), hints don't leak into required files
   - Fixes tests that check $^H{...} is undef in BEGIN blocks of required modules

3. Fix cached require failure error message
   - Changed 'Compilation failed in require at <file>' to 'Attempt to reload <file> aborted.'
   - Matches Perl's actual error message for cached compilation failures
   - Fixes the 'broken module is visibly broken when re-required' tests

Remaining 8 failures are due to caller()[10] (hints hash per stack frame)
returning undef - this is a known limitation requiring more complex tracking.

Subject: [PATCH 02/47] Fix base.pm isa check and error message formatting

- Base.java: Add isa check before adding to @ISA, matching Perl
  base.pm behavior (skip redundant base classes when Middle->isa(Parent))
- PerlCompilerException.java, FileTestOperator.java: Add missing period
  before " at file line N" in error messages

Subject: [PATCH 05/47] Fix %main:: to include top-level packages in stash
 enumeration

In Perl, $Foo::x and $main::Foo::x refer to the same variable, but
PerlOnJava stores top-level package symbols without the 'main::'
prefix. This caused %main:: (the main stash) to not include entries
like 'Foo::' for top-level packages.

The fix extends HashSpecialVariable.entrySet() to also include keys
that start with a top-level package name (e.g., "Foo::test") when
enumerating %main::. This allows Class::Inspector::_subnames to
correctly find all child packages.

Test results:
- Class::Inspector: 55/56 tests pass (1 failure is unrelated INC hook issue)
- All unit tests pass

Subject: [PATCH 06/47] Fix substr() with negative offsets that overshoot
 string start

When substr() is called with a negative offset that goes before the
beginning of the string, Perl's behavior is:

1. If the adjusted length would still be positive, clip offset to 0
   and reduce length by the overshoot amount (no warning)
   Example: substr("a", -2, 2) returns "a"

2. If the adjusted length would be non-positive, warn and return undef
   Example: substr("hello", -10, 1) warns and returns undef

This also fixes the 4-argument substr replacement behavior to correctly
replace only the extracted portion when clipping occurs.
Example: substr("ab", -3, 2, "X") returns "a" and sets str to "Xb"

Test results:
- All unit tests pass
- Class::Inspector tests pass (no more substr outside of string warnings)

Subject: [PATCH 07/47] Fix regex /u flag: only enable Unicode character
 classes when requested

Instead of unconditionally enabling UNICODE_CHARACTER_CLASS (which broke
308 tests in re/charset.t), now properly track the /u modifier and only
enable Unicode character class matching when /u is specified.

This fixes the regressions in:
- re/charset.t: 5282/5552 (matches master)
- uni/variables.t: 66880/66880 (matches master)
- re/regex_sets.t: restored to master level
- re/pat.t: restored to master level

The /u flag can be used to enable Unicode matching:
  /\w+/u  # matches Unicode word characters

Subject: [PATCH 08/47] Fix cached require error message to include
 'Compilation failed'

Perl's error message for a cached compilation failure includes both:
- 'Attempt to reload <file> aborted.'
- 'Compilation failed in require at <file>'

The previous fix only included the first part, which broke
comp/require.t test 32. Now includes both parts to match Perl.

Fixes: comp/require.t 1743/1747 (matches master)

Subject: [PATCH 09/47] Fix version qv flag and stringify for decimal versions

When a decimal version like '1.0' was passed to version->new(), PerlOnJava
was incorrectly setting qv=true and storing 'v1.0' as the original string.
This caused CPAN::Meta::Requirements to format versions as '<= v1.0.0'
instead of '<= 1.0', breaking CPAN::Meta::Check tests.

The fix:
- Track the original version string before prepending 'v' for internal use
- Set qv=true only if the ORIGINAL input started with 'v'
- Store the original input string for stringify(), not the modified one

Subject: [PATCH 10/47] Fix version module: strip trailing zeros and reject
 math ops

1. Version.java: Strip trailing zeros from double versions
   - version->new(1.0203) now stringifies to '1.0203' not '1.020300'
   - version->new(1.23) now stringifies to '1.23' not '1.230000'

2. version.pm: Add overload operators that throw errors for math ops
   - +, -, *, /, abs, +=, -=, *=, /= now die with
     'operation not supported with version object'

Version tests: 93.7% -> 99.5% pass rate (220/221 passing)

Remaining failures are infrastructure issues:
- 02derived.t: File::Temp directory behavior differs
- 07locale.t: POSIX::locale_h not implemented

Subject: [PATCH 11/47] Fix File::Temp: TEMPLATE option and PERMS support

- Support TEMPLATE => 'nameXXXXXX' as hash option for tempfile/tempdir
- Support PERMS => 0400 for custom file permissions
- Return open filehandle from _mkstemp_perl to avoid re-open issues
- Apply chmod after filehandle is obtained (avoids permission denied)

File::Temp tests improved:
- tempfile.t: 22/30 pass (cleanup issues due to chdir)
- posix.t: 7/7 pass
- cmp.t: 18/19 pass
- object.t: 28/35 pass

Remaining failures are mostly cleanup-related when test uses chdir
into temp directory (can't delete directory while in it).

 paths

- Convert paths to absolute when registering for cleanup
- Handle cleanup when current directory is the temp dir to be deleted
  (chdir out before rmtree, like system Perl)
- Add _wrap_file_spec_tmpdir() for compatibility
- Load Cwd early to avoid CORE::GLOBAL::stat conflicts

All 30 tempfile.t tests now pass, including cleanup after chdir.

Subject: [PATCH 13/47] Fix anonymous glob slot dereferencing (${*$fh},
 %{*$fh}, @{*$fh})

Anonymous globs created by 'open(my $fh, ...)' have a null globName and
cannot use GlobalVariable to store their SCALAR, ARRAY, and HASH slots.
This commit adds local slot storage for anonymous globs.

Changes:
- Add scalarSlot, arraySlot, hashSlot private fields to RuntimeGlob
- Add getGlobHash() and getGlobArray() methods to RuntimeGlob
- Update getGlobSlot() to handle null globName with local slots
- Fix scalarDeref(), scalarDerefNonStrict() to use glob.hashDerefGet()
- Fix hashDeref(), hashDerefNonStrict() to use glob.getGlobHash()
- Fix arrayDeref(), arrayDerefNonStrict() to use glob.getGlobArray()

This enables File::Temp OO interface which stores metadata in glob slots.

Subject: [PATCH 14/47] Fix File::Temp tests: fileno, autoflush, template path
 handling

Changes:
- CustomFileChannel.fileno(): Return synthetic fd instead of undef
  This allows code checking defined fileno to work correctly

- FileTemp.java: Fix argument parsing for _mkstemp/_mkstemps/_mkdtemp
  Methods now support both function calls and method calls

- FileTemp.java: Fix path handling when template prefix ends with /
  Properly handle templates like /tmp/XXXXXX where the prefix is
  a directory path with trailing separator

- File/Temp.pm: Fix _replace_XX to only replace trailing Xs
  Previously replaced all Xs in template, now matches Perl 5 behavior

- File/Temp.pm: Add autoflush() method for OO interface
  Uses select/$| to set autoflush on the underlying filehandle

- file_temp.t: Fix test for template with only Xs
  Check basename instead of full path for pattern matching

Tests 9 and 12 (Cleanup/destructor) remain failing due to known
limitation: PerlOnJava does not call DESTROY when objects go out of
scope (Java GC does not support deterministic destruction).

Subject: [PATCH 15/47] Revert fileno synthetic fd change to fix
 io/perlio_leaks.t regressions

The synthetic fd approach caused regressions in:
- io/perlio_leaks.t (12/12 -> 0/12)
- io/dup.t (25/29 -> 17/29)
- op/require_37033.t (7/10 -> 6/10)

These tests rely on fileno returning undef for handles without real fds,
since is(undef, undef) passes in comparisons.

Updated file_temp.t to check handle validity using ref() instead of
fileno() since Java cannot expose real OS file descriptors.

Subject: [PATCH 16/47] Fix DateTime test failures: overload warnings and
 custom warning categories

- CompareOperators.java: Add checkSpaceshipResult() to emit "uninitialized
  value" warning when overloaded <=> returns undef in derived comparison ops
- CompareOperators.java: Improve callerWhere() to skip internal Test::* frames
  for correct warning location reporting
- warnings/register.pm: Implement proper warnings::register with import()
- WarningFlags.java: Add registerCategory() for runtime custom warning category
  registration, globalWarningsEnabled flag for runtime scope checks
- Warnings.java: Add register_categories(), fix warnif() to use WarnDie.warn()
- ScopedSymbolTable.java: Add registerCustomWarningCategory() for bit allocation

Fixes t/29overload.t completely. Improves t/46warnings.t (3/6 tests pass).

Subject: [PATCH 17/47] Fix indirect object syntax with blocks for undefined
 barewords

Parser changes:
- Fix parsing of "bareword { block } args" when bareword is undefined
- Correctly parse as indirect object syntax: (block_result)->bareword(args)
- This matches Perl behavior for try/catch style constructs without imports

Note: t/48rt-115983.t still fails because namespace::autoclean is a stub.
The test expects DateTime to clean imported try/catch from its namespace,
but implementing autoclean properly causes regressions in other tests.

Subject: [PATCH 18/47] Fix warnings::warnif to work with Test::Warnings
 warning capture

- Remove runtime suppression stack that was breaking local $SIG{__WARN__}
- Handle no warnings; (without arguments) to disable all warnings
- warnings::warnif now properly goes through $SIG{__WARN__} handler
- Test::Warnings::warnings { } now captures warnif warnings correctly

Note: Lexical warning suppression (no warnings category) works at
compile time but does not propagate through module calls at runtime.
This is a known limitation requiring future work to pass warning bits
through the call stack.

Subject: [PATCH 19/47] Add warnings scope design doc and infrastructure

Phase 1 of lexical warning scope propagation:
- Add scope ID tracking to WarningFlags.java
- registerScopeWarnings() assigns unique scope IDs
- isWarningDisabledInScope() checks if category is suppressed
- Design doc in dev/design/warnings-scope.md

This enables "no warnings 'DateTime'" to propagate to warnif()
calls in DateTime.pm via the local $^WARNING_SCOPE mechanism.

+# Lexical Warning Scope Propagation
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+When a user writes:
+```perl
+{
+    no warnings 'DateTime';
+    my $dt = DateTime->new(...);  # DateTime.pm calls warnings::warnif('DateTime', $msg)
+}
+```
+
+The `no warnings 'DateTime'` suppression should propagate to `warnif()` calls made by DateTime.pm. Currently, this doesn't work because:
+
+1. `no warnings` sets compile-time flags in the symbol table
+2. `warnif()` is called at runtime from DateTime.pm (a different compilation unit)
+3. DateTime.pm's symbol table doesn't have the caller's warning suppression
+
+## Solution: Scope-based Warning Tracking
+
+Use a runtime mechanism similar to how `eval STRING` stores parse state globally:
+
+1. **Compile time**: When `no warnings 'category'` is encountered:
+   - Assign a unique scope ID
+   - Store the disabled categories for that scope ID in a static map
+   - Set `lastScopeId` for the statement parser to read
+
+2. **Code generation**: After processing `no warnings`, emit:
+   ```perl
+   local $^WARNING_SCOPE = $scopeId;
+   ```
+
+3. **Runtime**: When `warnif($category, $msg)` is called:
+   - Read `$^WARNING_SCOPE` to get the current scope ID
+   - Look up disabled categories for that scope ID
+   - Suppress warning if category is disabled
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Infrastructure (WarningFlags.java) ✓ DONE
+
+Add scope tracking to `WarningFlags.java`:
+
+```java
+// Scope ID counter
+private static final AtomicInteger scopeIdCounter = new AtomicInteger(0);
+
+// Map: scope ID -> set of disabled categories
+private static final Map<Integer, Set<String>> scopeDisabledWarnings = new HashMap<>();
+
+// Last scope ID (read by StatementParser after noWarnings())
+private static int lastScopeId = 0;
+
+// Register a scope and return its ID
+public static int registerScopeWarnings(Set<String> categories) {
+    int scopeId = scopeIdCounter.incrementAndGet();
+    Set<String> expanded = expandCategories(categories);
+    scopeDisabledWarnings.put(scopeId, expanded);
+    lastScopeId = scopeId;
+    return scopeId;
+}
+
+// Check if category is disabled in scope
+public static boolean isWarningDisabledInScope(int scopeId, String category) {
+    Set<String> disabled = scopeDisabledWarnings.get(scopeId);
+    return disabled != null && (disabled.contains(category) || disabled.contains("all"));
+}
+
+// Get/clear lastScopeId
+public static int getLastScopeId() { return lastScopeId; }
+public static void clearLastScopeId() { lastScopeId = 0; }
+```
+
+### Phase 2: noWarnings() Registration (Warnings.java)
+
+Modify `noWarnings()` to register the scope:
+
+```java
+public static RuntimeList noWarnings(RuntimeArray args, int ctx) {
+    Set<String> categories = new HashSet<>();
+    
+    if (args.size() <= 1) {
+        categories.add("all");
+    } else {
+        for (int i = 1; i < args.size(); i++) {
+            String category = args.get(i).toString();
+            if (!warningExists(category)) {
+                throw new PerlCompilerException("Unknown warnings category '" + category + "'");
+            }
+            categories.add(category);
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // Register scope for runtime checking (sets lastScopeId)
+    WarningFlags.registerScopeWarnings(categories);
+    
+    // Also update compile-time flags (existing behavior)
+    for (String category : categories) {
+        warningManager.disableWarning(category);
+    }
+    
+    return new RuntimeScalar().getList();
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Global Variable $^WARNING_SCOPE (GlobalContext.java)
+
+Initialize `$^WARNING_SCOPE` to 0:
+
+```java
+// In GlobalContext initialization
+GlobalVariable.getGlobalVariable("main::" + Character.toString('W' - 'A' + 1 + 128))
+    .set(0);  // $^WARNING_SCOPE - encoded as special char
+```
+
+Or use a named variable:
+```java
+GlobalVariable.getGlobalVariable("main::^WARNING_SCOPE").set(0);
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Emit local Assignment (StatementParser.java)
+
+After `warnings->unimport()` returns, check if a scope was registered and emit `local $^WARNING_SCOPE = scopeId`:
+
+```java
+// In parseUseDeclaration, after calling unimport:
+int warningScopeId = WarningFlags.getLastScopeId();
+WarningFlags.clearLastScopeId();
+
+if (warningScopeId > 0) {
+    // Create AST for: local $^WARNING_SCOPE = scopeId
+    // This will be emitted as part of the block's statements
+}
+```
+
+**Alternative approach**: Instead of emitting AST, have the `CompilerFlagNode` carry the scope ID and emit the local assignment during code generation.
+
+### Phase 5: warnif() Check (Warnings.java)
+
+Modify `warnIf()` to check `$^WARNING_SCOPE`:
+
+```java
+public static RuntimeList warnIf(RuntimeArray args, int ctx) {
+    // ... existing arg parsing ...
+    
+    // Check runtime scope suppression first
+    RuntimeScalar scopeVar = GlobalVariable.getGlobalVariable("main::^WARNING_SCOPE");
+    int scopeId = scopeVar.getInt();
+    if (scopeId > 0 && WarningFlags.isWarningDisabledInScope(scopeId, category)) {
+        // Warning is suppressed by caller's "no warnings"
+        return new RuntimeScalar().getList();
+    }
+    
+    // Fall back to compile-time check
+    if (warningManager.isWarningEnabled(category)) {
+        WarnDie.warn(message, new RuntimeScalar(""));
+    }
+    return new RuntimeScalar().getList();
+}
+```
+
+## How `local` Makes This Work
+
+The key insight is Perl's `local` mechanism:
+
+```perl
+{
+    no warnings 'DateTime';
+    # At this point: local $^WARNING_SCOPE = 42
+    # DynamicVariableManager saves old value (0) and sets new value (42)
+    
+    DateTime->new(...);
+    # DateTime.pm calls warnif('DateTime', $msg)
+    # warnif() reads $^WARNING_SCOPE = 42
+    # Looks up scope 42 -> 'DateTime' is disabled
+    # Warning suppressed!
+    
+}  # Block exit: DynamicVariableManager restores $^WARNING_SCOPE = 0
+```
+
+The `local` keyword in Perl (implemented via `DynamicVariableManager`) automatically:
+1. Saves the current value when entering the scope
+2. Restores the old value when exiting the scope (even on exceptions)
+
+This is the same mechanism used for `local $SIG{__WARN__}`, `local $/`, etc.
+

+
+```perl
+use warnings;
+use Test::Warnings ':all';
+
+# Test 1: Warning emitted normally
+warning_like { DateTime->_warn('test') } qr/test/;
+
+# Test 2: Warning suppressed with no warnings
+{
+    no warnings 'DateTime';
+    my @warnings = warnings { DateTime->_warn('test') };
+    is(scalar @warnings, 0, 'warning suppressed');
+}
+
+# Test 3: Warning emitted after scope exits
+warning_like { DateTime->_warn('test') } qr/test/;
+```

Subject: [PATCH 20/47] Implement lexical warning scope propagation for
 warnif()

This allows "no warnings 'Category'" in user code to suppress
warnings::warnif('Category', $msg) calls in library code (e.g., DateTime.pm).

Implementation:
- Add ${^WARNING_SCOPE} global variable to track runtime warning scope
- noWarnings() registers disabled categories with unique scope IDs
- CompilerFlagNode carries scope ID, emits local ${^WARNING_SCOPE} = id
- warnIf() checks ${^WARNING_SCOPE} to see if category is suppressed
- FindDeclarationVisitor detects scope nodes for proper cleanup

Files changed:
- WarningFlags.java: Scope ID tracking infrastructure
- Warnings.java: Register scopes, check in warnIf()
- GlobalContext.java: Initialize ${^WARNING_SCOPE}
- CompilerFlagNode.java: Add warningScopeId field
- StatementParser.java: Pass scope ID to CompilerFlagNode
- EmitCompilerFlag.java: Emit local assignment bytecode
- FindDeclarationVisitor.java: Detect scope nodes for cleanup

Test: DateTime t/46warnings.t now passes 6/6 (was 3/6)

Subject: [PATCH 21/47] Fix runtime warning scope check in RuntimeIO

Add isWarningSuppressedAtRuntime() helper to WarningFlags and use it
in RuntimeIO to check both compile-time and runtime warning suppression
for syscalls warnings (e.g., nul character in pathname).

This fixes io/open.t test 192 which tests "no warnings 'syscalls'".

+# PerlOnJava Architecture Overview
+
+This directory contains architecture documentation for the PerlOnJava compiler and runtime.
+
+## Quick Overview
+
+PerlOnJava is a Perl 5 implementation that compiles Perl source code to JVM bytecode. The system consists of:
+
+1. **Frontend** (`org.perlonjava.frontend`)
+   - Lexer: Tokenizes Perl source code
+   - Parser: Builds Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
+   - Semantic analysis: Variable resolution, scope handling
+
+2. **Backend** (`org.perlonjava.backend`)
+   - JVM backend: Emits JVM bytecode using ASM library
+   - Bytecode interpreter: Interprets a subset of operations for eval STRING
+
+3. **Runtime** (`org.perlonjava.runtime`)
+   - Runtime types: RuntimeScalar, RuntimeArray, RuntimeHash, RuntimeCode
+   - Operators: Arithmetic, string, comparison, I/O
+   - Perl modules: Built-in implementations of core modules

+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Direct JVM Bytecode**: We emit bytecode directly rather than generating Java source, enabling better optimization and avoiding Java language limitations.
+
+2. **Dual Backend**: JVM bytecode for compiled code, bytecode interpreter for `eval STRING` to avoid runtime class generation overhead.
+
+3. **Dynamic Scoping**: Implemented via `DynamicVariableManager` which maintains a stack of saved values, restored on scope exit.
+
+4. **Lexical Pragmas**: Warnings and strict are tracked in the symbol table at compile time and propagate via `CompilerFlagNode`.

+# Dynamic Scoping in PerlOnJava
+
+This document explains how PerlOnJava implements Perl's dynamic scoping via the `local` keyword and how the same mechanism is used for other features.
+
+## Overview
+
+Perl's `local` keyword provides dynamic scoping: it temporarily saves a variable's value and restores it when the current scope exits. This is different from lexical scoping (`my`), which creates a new variable visible only in the current block.
+
+```perl
+$x = "global";
+sub foo {
+    local $x = "local";
+    bar();  # sees $x = "local"
+}
+sub bar {
+    print $x;  # prints "local" when called from foo()
+}
+foo();
+print $x;  # prints "global"
+```
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Core Components
+
+#### 1. DynamicState Interface
+
+All values that can be dynamically scoped implement `DynamicState`:
+
+```java
+public interface DynamicState {
+    void dynamicSaveState();    // Save current state
+    void dynamicRestoreState(); // Restore saved state
+}
+```
+
+Implementations:
+- `RuntimeScalar` - scalar variables
+- `RuntimeArray` - array variables  
+- `RuntimeHash` - hash variables
+- `RuntimeGlob` - typeglobs
+- `DeferBlock` - defer block execution
+- `RegexState` - regex match state ($1, $2, etc.)
+
+#### 2. DynamicVariableManager
+
+Manages a stack of saved states:
+
+```java
+public class DynamicVariableManager {
+    private static final Deque<DynamicState> variableStack = new ArrayDeque<>();
+    
+    // Save current state and push onto stack
+    public static void pushLocalVariable(DynamicState variable) {
+        variable.dynamicSaveState();
+        variableStack.addLast(variable);
+    }
+    
+    // Restore all states back to a saved level
+    public static void popToLocalLevel(int targetLevel) {
+        while (variableStack.size() > targetLevel) {
+            DynamicState variable = variableStack.removeLast();
+            variable.dynamicRestoreState();
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // Get current stack level (saved at block entry)
+    public static int getLocalLevel() {
+        return variableStack.size();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. RuntimeScalar State Management
+
+Each `RuntimeScalar` has its own save stack:
+
+```java
+public class RuntimeScalar implements DynamicState {
+    private static final Stack<RuntimeScalar> dynamicStateStack = new Stack<>();
+    
+    @Override
+    public void dynamicSaveState() {
+        // Save a copy of current state
+        RuntimeScalar copy = new RuntimeScalar();
+        copy.type = this.type;
+        copy.value = this.value;
+        dynamicStateStack.push(copy);
+    }
+    
+    @Override
+    public void dynamicRestoreState() {
+        RuntimeScalar saved = dynamicStateStack.pop();
+        this.type = saved.type;
+        this.value = saved.value;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Code Generation
+
+When the compiler sees `local $x`:
+
+1. **Block Entry**: Save current local level
+   ```java
+   int savedLevel = DynamicVariableManager.getLocalLevel();
+   ```
+
+2. **Local Assignment**: Save and modify variable
+   ```java
+   DynamicVariableManager.pushLocalVariable(variable);
+   variable.set(newValue);
+   ```
+
+3. **Block Exit**: Restore all local variables (in finally block)
+   ```java
+   DynamicVariableManager.popToLocalLevel(savedLevel);
+   ```
+
+### Detection of Local Usage
+
+`FindDeclarationVisitor` scans AST blocks to detect if `local` is used:
+
+```java
+public static boolean containsLocalOrDefer(Node blockNode) {
+    FindDeclarationVisitor visitor = new FindDeclarationVisitor();
+    visitor.operatorName = "local";
+    blockNode.accept(visitor);
+    return visitor.containsLocalOperator || visitor.containsDefer;
+}
+```
+
+This allows the compiler to skip local setup/teardown for blocks that don't need it.
+
+## Other Uses of DynamicVariableManager
+
+The same mechanism is used for several other features:
+
+### 1. Defer Blocks
+
+`defer { ... }` blocks execute code when scope exits:
+
+```perl
+{
+    defer { print "cleanup\n" }
+    print "work\n";
+}  # prints: work, cleanup
+```
+
+Implementation:
+```java
+public class DeferBlock implements DynamicState {
+    private final RuntimeCode code;
+    
+    @Override
+    public void dynamicRestoreState() {
+        // Execute the defer block
+        code.apply(new RuntimeArray(), RuntimeContextType.VOID);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Regex State
+
+Match variables (`$1`, `$2`, `$&`, etc.) are saved/restored:
+
+```java
+public class RegexState implements DynamicState {
+    // Saves: captureGroups, lastMatch, prematch, postmatch, etc.
+}
+```
+
+This ensures regex state is properly scoped in nested matches.
+
+### 3. Warning Scope (${^WARNING_SCOPE})
+
+Runtime warning suppression uses local semantics:
+
+```perl
+{
+    no warnings 'DateTime';  # Sets local ${^WARNING_SCOPE} = scopeId
+    DateTime->new(...);      # warnif() checks ${^WARNING_SCOPE}
+}  # ${^WARNING_SCOPE} restored to 0
+```
+
+The `CompilerFlagNode` emits:
+```java
+GlobalRuntimeScalar.makeLocal("${^WARNING_SCOPE}");
+scopeVar.set(scopeId);
+```
+
+### 4. Signal Handlers
+
+`local $SIG{__WARN__}` and `local $SIG{__DIE__}` use the same mechanism:
+
+```perl
+{
+    local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { ... };
+    # warnings go to custom handler
+}  # original handler restored
+```
+
+## Exception Safety
+
+`popToLocalLevel()` is exception-safe:
+
+```java
+public static void popToLocalLevel(int targetLevel) {
+    Throwable pendingException = null;
+    
+    while (variableStack.size() > targetLevel) {
+        DynamicState variable = variableStack.removeLast();
+        try {
+            variable.dynamicRestoreState();
+        } catch (Throwable t) {
+            // Continue cleanup, remember last exception
+            pendingException = t;
+        }
+    }
+    
+    // Re-throw after all cleanup
+    if (pendingException != null) {
+        throw pendingException;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+This ensures:
+1. All local variables are restored even if one throws
+2. Defer blocks all execute even if one throws
+3. The last exception "wins" (Perl semantics)
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Stack Allocation**: Uses `ArrayDeque` (no synchronization overhead)
+2. **Lazy Detection**: `containsLocalOrDefer()` avoids setup for blocks without `local`
+3. **Per-Variable Stacks**: Each variable type manages its own save stack

+# Lexical Pragmas: Warnings and Strict
+
+This document explains how PerlOnJava implements lexical pragmas like `use warnings`, `no warnings`, `use strict`, and `no strict`.
+
+## Overview
+
+Perl's pragmas are lexically scoped—they affect only the code in the current block and nested blocks, not code in called subroutines:
+
+```perl
+{
+    use strict;
+    use warnings;
+    # strict and warnings enabled here
+    foo();  # foo() has its own pragma state
+}
+# strict and warnings NOT enabled here
+```
+
+This is fundamentally different from dynamic scoping (`local`)—pragmas affect compilation, not runtime.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Compile-Time vs Runtime
+
+Pragmas have two aspects:
+
+1. **Compile-Time**: Affects how code is parsed and compiled
+   - `use strict 'vars'` - undeclared variable is a compile error
+   - `use warnings 'syntax'` - emit warning during compilation
+
+2. **Runtime**: Affects behavior of running code
+   - `use warnings 'uninitialized'` - warn when using undef
+   - `no warnings 'DateTime'` - suppress warnif() calls
+
+PerlOnJava tracks both using different mechanisms.
+
+## Compile-Time Implementation
+
+### Symbol Table Stacks
+
+`ScopedSymbolTable` maintains stacks for each pragma type:
+
+```java
+public class ScopedSymbolTable {
+    // Warning flags - one BitSet per scope level
+    public final Deque<BitSet> warningFlagsStack = new ArrayDeque<>();
+    
+    // Feature flags - integer bitmask per scope
+    public final Deque<Integer> featureFlagsStack = new ArrayDeque<>();
+    
+    // Strict options - integer bitmask per scope
+    public final Deque<Integer> strictOptionsStack = new ArrayDeque<>();
+}
+```
+
+When entering a new scope (block, subroutine, file):
+```java
+void enterScope() {
+    // Clone current flags for new scope
+    warningFlagsStack.push((BitSet) warningFlagsStack.peek().clone());
+    featureFlagsStack.push(featureFlagsStack.peek());
+    strictOptionsStack.push(strictOptionsStack.peek());
+}
+```
+
+### Warning Categories
+
+`WarningFlags` defines the warning category hierarchy:
+
+```java
+public class WarningFlags {
+    // Hierarchy: "all" contains all categories
+    private static final Map<String, String[]> warningHierarchy = new HashMap<>();
+    
+    static {
+        warningHierarchy.put("all", new String[]{
+            "closure", "deprecated", "experimental", "io", 
+            "numeric", "once", "redefine", "substr", "syntax",
+            "uninitialized", "void", ...
+        });
+        warningHierarchy.put("io", new String[]{
+            "io::closed", "io::exec", "io::layer", ...
+        });
+        // ... more subcategories
+    }
+    
+    // Each category maps to a bit position
+    public void enableWarning(String category) {
+        int bit = getCategoryBit(category);
+        currentFlags.set(bit);
+        // Also enable subcategories
+        for (String sub : getSubcategories(category)) {
+            enableWarning(sub);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Strict Options
+
+Strict has three options encoded as bits:
+
+```java
+public class StrictOptions {
+    public static final int STRICT_REFS = 1;  // no symbolic refs
+    public static final int STRICT_VARS = 2;  // must declare variables
+    public static final int STRICT_SUBS = 4;  // no barewords as subs
+}
+```
+
+### CompilerFlagNode
+
+When pragmas change, the parser creates a `CompilerFlagNode`:
+
+```java
+public class CompilerFlagNode extends AbstractNode {
+    private final BitSet warningFlags;
+    private final int featureFlags;
+    private final int strictOptions;
+    private final int warningScopeId;  // For runtime propagation
+}
+```
+
+This node is inserted into the AST to update compiler state during code generation.
+
+## Runtime Implementation
+
+### The Problem
+
+Compile-time pragma tracking works for code compiled together. But what about:
+
+```perl
+# user_code.pl
+{
+    no warnings 'DateTime';
+    DateTime->new(...);  # DateTime.pm calls warnif('DateTime', $msg)
+}
+```
+
+DateTime.pm is compiled separately—it doesn't know about user_code.pl's `no warnings`.
+
+### Solution: ${^WARNING_SCOPE}
+
+We use a runtime mechanism with dynamic scoping:
+
+1. **Scope Registration**: Each `no warnings 'category'` block gets a unique scope ID:
+   ```java
+   public static int registerScopeWarnings(Set<String> categories) {
+       int scopeId = scopeIdCounter.incrementAndGet();
+       scopeDisabledWarnings.put(scopeId, expandCategories(categories));
+       return scopeId;
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Local Assignment**: `CompilerFlagNode` emits:
+   ```java
+   // local ${^WARNING_SCOPE} = scopeId
+   GlobalRuntimeScalar.makeLocal("${^WARNING_SCOPE}");
+   scopeVar.set(scopeId);
+   ```
+
+3. **Runtime Check**: `warnif()` checks the scope:
+   ```java
+   public static RuntimeList warnIf(RuntimeArray args, int ctx) {
+       int scopeId = GlobalVariable.getGlobalVariable(WARNING_SCOPE).getInt();
+       if (scopeId > 0 && isWarningDisabledInScope(scopeId, category)) {
+           return new RuntimeScalar().getList();  // Suppressed
+       }
+       // ... emit warning
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Automatic Restore**: When scope exits, `DynamicVariableManager` restores `${^WARNING_SCOPE}` to its previous value.
+
+### Integration Points
+
+Runtime warning checks are needed in:
+
+| Location | Warning Category |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| `RuntimeIO.java` | `syscalls` (nul in pathname) |
+| `Warnings.java` | Custom categories via `warnif()` |
+| `CompareOperators.java` | `uninitialized` |
+| `Operator.java` | `substr`, `numeric` |
+
+Example check:
+```java
+if (Warnings.warningManager.isWarningEnabled("syscalls") 
+        && !WarningFlags.isWarningSuppressedAtRuntime("syscalls")) {
+    WarnDie.warn(message, location);
+}
+```
+
+## Custom Warning Categories
+
+Modules can register custom categories via `warnings::register`:
+
+```perl
+package DateTime;
+use warnings::register;  # Registers "DateTime" category
+```
+
+Implementation:
+```java
+public static void registerCategory(String category) {
+    customCategories.add(category);
+    // Allocate a bit for this category
+    symbolTable.registerCustomWarningCategory(category);
+}
+```
+
+Then `warnif()` uses the custom category:
+```perl
+warnings::warnif('DateTime', $message);
+```
+
+## Code Flow
+

+

+```
+
+### Warning Emission
+
+```
+DateTime->new(year => 5001, ...)
+    │
+    ▼
+DateTime::_warn() calls warnif('DateTime', $msg)
+    │
+    ▼

+    └──► Check compile-time flags

Subject: [PATCH 23/47] Fix stringConcatWarnUninitialized to avoid double FETCH
 on tied scalars

The stringConcatWarnUninitialized method was calling getDefinedBoolean()
to check for undef values before calling toString(). Both methods trigger
FETCH on tied scalars, causing extra FETCH calls.

Fix: resolve tied scalars once upfront, then use the resolved value for
both the definedness check and the string conversion.

This fixes the op/gmagic.t regression (31 tests pass vs 29 before).

Subject: [PATCH 24/47] Fix tied variable FETCH/STORE semantics for chained
 assignments

- Add setVoid() method for operations that don't need the assignment result
  (like chop/chomp) to avoid unnecessary FETCH-after-STORE
- For TIED_SCALAR wrapper in RuntimeScalar.set(), delegate to the tied
  object's set() method instead of doing FETCH-after-STORE directly
- Override set() in TieScalar to do FETCH-after-STORE for actual tied
  scalars (needed for chained assignments like $s = $tied = value)
- TiedVariableBase.set() (used by hash/array proxy entries) just does
  STORE without extra FETCH, which is correct for those cases

This fixes the op/gmagic.t concat-assignment tests (37 passing, up from 31)
and the tie_hash.t FETCH count test.

Subject: [PATCH 25/47] Fix regex /i flag to not affect Unicode properties

In Perl, the /i flag makes matching case-insensitive for literals,
but does NOT affect Unicode property matching (\p{...}).

Changes:
- RegexPreprocessorHelper: Wrap \p{...} translations in (?-i:...) to
  disable case-insensitive matching for property references
- RegexPreprocessor: Skip over \p{...}, \P{...}, \N{...}, \x{...},
  \o{...} constructs during case-fold expansion to prevent mangling
  property names (e.g., 'k' in 'Blk' was being expanded)
- ExtendedCharClass: Wrap output in (?-i:...) since Perl's (?[...])
  applies /i only to literals, not Unicode properties

This fixes re/regex_sets.t tests 26-27 and enables many more tests
to pass (79/88 up from 25/88).

Subject: [PATCH 26/47] Revert tied variable and regex changes that caused test
 regressions

The previous commits introduced regressions in multiple test suites:
- op/eval.t: -49 tests (FETCH called when method does not exist)
- re/regex_sets_compat.t: -16 tests ((?-i:...) wrapper broke /i flag)
- op/bop.t: -9 tests (extra FETCH calls for tied vec operations)
- re/subst.t: -7 tests (extra FETCH calls)

Reverted changes:
- TieScalar: Remove set() override that did STORE+FETCH
- RuntimeScalar: Revert FETCH-after-STORE changes for tied scalars
- StringOperators: Revert tied scalar concat handling changes
- ExtendedCharClass: Remove (?-i:...) wrapper
- RegexPreprocessorHelper: Remove (?-i:...) wrapper around \p{...}

Test results after fix match or exceed baselines.

Subject: [PATCH 27/47] Restore StringOperators fix for tied scalar concat
 (fixes op/gmagic.t)

The previous revert accidentally removed the fix that prevents double
FETCH on tied scalars during string concatenation with warning checks.

This restores the fix from commit 38832fe97 which resolves tied variables
once upfront, then uses the resolved values for both definedness check
and string conversion.

Test results:
- op/gmagic.t: 31/42 (was 29/42 after revert)

Subject: [PATCH 28/47] Fix /i flag handling for Unicode properties in extended
 character classes

- /i flag no longer incorrectly affects \p{} property matching
- Extended char classes now properly expand literals for case-insensitive matching
- Interpolated extended char classes retain their original /i flag setting
- /i on outer extended char class does not leak to interpolated inner patterns

Fixes:
- re/regex_sets.t tests 26, 47-50 now pass (76->81 passing)
- Unicode property \p{Blk=ASCII} no longer matches case-folded chars under /i
- KELVIN SIGN with /i correctly matches K and k in extended char classes

Implementation:
- Wrap Unicode property translations in (?-i:...) to protect from /i
- Expand all literals (not just special folds) in extended char classes
- Track /i flag through nested extended char class processing
- Skip extended char classes in expandMultiCharFolds() preprocessing

Subject: [PATCH 29/47] Fix extended char class negation with /i flag

Handle ^ at the start of a character class as the negation
metacharacter, not as the start of a range. This fixes [^-b]
which should mean "not hyphen or b", not "range from ^ to b".

Also track atStart flag to properly handle - as a literal when
it appears immediately after ^ or at the very start.

Subject: [PATCH 30/47] Fix case-insensitive matching for extended char class
 ranges and escapes

- Add LONG S (U+017F) to special case fold mappings
- Handle \x{...} escape sequences with case expansion
- Handle \N{...} named characters with case expansion for non-special folds
- Add special Unicode case folds (KELVIN, LONG S) for ranges like [a-z]

This fixes regressions where:
- /[a-z]/i did not match KELVIN SIGN in extended char class
- /[A-Z]/i did not match LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S
- /[\x{c1}]/i did not match lowercase a-acute

When running 'jperl -MModule' without -e or a script file, PerlOnJava
was entering REPL mode and waiting for stdin input, even when called
from a subprocess (e.g., via IPC::Open3 in test suites).

The fix:
1. If -M/-m modules are specified but no code, check if stdin has data
   available (pipe/redirection). If not, use minimal code '1;' instead
   of blocking on stdin.
2. Improved interactive detection to use System.in.available() to check
   for piped input, not just System.console().

This fixes Test::Needs test suite hanging during 'jcpan DateTime'
installation.

Subject: [PATCH 32/47] Add deprecate.pm pragma stub

The deprecate pragma warns when modules are loaded from Perl core
directories. Since PerlOnJava doesn't have the traditional core/site
library distinction, this is a no-op stub.

Fixes Module::Pluggable installation which depends on Devel::InnerPackage
which uses 'use deprecate'.

Subject: [PATCH 33/47] Add $VERSION to core pragmas for CPAN compatibility

Set $VERSION in Java initialize() methods for:
- strict (1.14)
- warnings (1.74)
- base (2.27)
- parent (0.244)
- vars (1.05)
- utf8 (1.29)

This fixes CPAN trying to reinstall modules that are already bundled
because it could not detect their versions.

Subject: [PATCH 34/47] Add base.pm and parent.pm stubs for CPAN detection

CPAN uses inst_file() to find .pm files on disk. Without these stubs,
CPAN cannot detect that base and parent are bundled, causing it to
try reinstalling them.

Subject: [PATCH 36/47] Fix parsing of %{&{$code}} hash dereference

The construct %{&{$code}} was incorrectly parsed as %&{$code} (hash
subscript on %&) instead of %{ &{$code} } (dereference the result of
calling the code ref).

The fix follows the same pattern as the existing fix for *{expr} -
when & is followed by { inside braces, return null to force fallback
to expression parsing.

Subject: [PATCH 37/47] Fix B module SVf_POK and CPAN::Meta::YAML refaddr

- Add SVf_POK constant and function to B.pm for CPAN::Meta::YAML
  compatibility
- Update B::SV::FLAGS to return SVf_POK for string values
- Comment out delete of refaddr in CPAN::Meta::YAML - PerlOnJava
  resolves symbols at runtime so the delete breaks function calls

Subject: [PATCH 38/47] Add ExtUtils::MakeMaker and related modules for jcpan

- Add full ExtUtils::MakeMaker distribution for CPAN module installation
- Add ExtUtils::Install, ExtUtils::Installed, ExtUtils::Packlist
- Add AutoLoader and AutoSplit modules
- Patch MM_Unix.pm to skip STDERR filehandle duplication on PerlOnJava
  (use BSD-style 2>&1 instead since >& not supported)

This enables jcpan to successfully install pure-Perl CPAN modules.

+=head1 NAME
+
+AutoLoader - load subroutines only on demand
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    package Foo;
+    use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD';   # import the default AUTOLOAD subroutine
+
+    package Bar;
+    use AutoLoader;              # don't import AUTOLOAD, define our own
+    sub AUTOLOAD {
+        ...
+        $AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD = "...";
+        goto &AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD;
+    }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<AutoLoader> module works with the B<AutoSplit> module and the
+C<__END__> token to defer the loading of some subroutines until they are
+used rather than loading them all at once.
+
+To use B<AutoLoader>, the author of a module has to place the
+definitions of subroutines to be autoloaded after an C<__END__> token.
+(See L<perldata>.)  The B<AutoSplit> module can then be run manually to
+extract the definitions into individual files F<auto/funcname.al>.
+
+B<AutoLoader> implements an AUTOLOAD subroutine.  When an undefined
+subroutine in is called in a client module of B<AutoLoader>,
+B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD subroutine attempts to locate the subroutine in a
+file with a name related to the location of the file from which the
+client module was read.  As an example, if F<POSIX.pm> is located in
+F</usr/local/lib/perl5/POSIX.pm>, B<AutoLoader> will look for perl
+subroutines B<POSIX> in F</usr/local/lib/perl5/auto/POSIX/*.al>, where
+the C<.al> file has the same name as the subroutine, sans package.  If
+such a file exists, AUTOLOAD will read and evaluate it,
+thus (presumably) defining the needed subroutine.  AUTOLOAD will then
+C<goto> the newly defined subroutine.
+
+Once this process completes for a given function, it is defined, so
+future calls to the subroutine will bypass the AUTOLOAD mechanism.
+
+=head2 Subroutine Stubs
+
+In order for object method lookup and/or prototype checking to operate
+correctly even when methods have not yet been defined it is necessary to
+"forward declare" each subroutine (as in C<sub NAME;>).  See
+L<perlsub/"SYNOPSIS">.  Such forward declaration creates "subroutine
+stubs", which are place holders with no code.
+
+The AutoSplit and B<AutoLoader> modules automate the creation of forward
+declarations.  The AutoSplit module creates an 'index' file containing
+forward declarations of all the AutoSplit subroutines.  When the
+AutoLoader module is 'use'd it loads these declarations into its callers
+package.
+
+Because of this mechanism it is important that B<AutoLoader> is always
+C<use>d and not C<require>d.
+
+=head2 Using B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD Subroutine
+
+In order to use B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD subroutine you I<must>
+explicitly import it:
+
+    use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD';
+
+=head2 Overriding B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD Subroutine
+
+Some modules, mainly extensions, provide their own AUTOLOAD subroutines.
+They typically need to check for some special cases (such as constants)
+and then fallback to B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD for the rest.
+
+Such modules should I<not> import B<AutoLoader>'s AUTOLOAD subroutine.
+Instead, they should define their own AUTOLOAD subroutines along these
+lines:
+
+    use AutoLoader;
+    use Carp;
+
+    sub AUTOLOAD {
+        my $sub = $AUTOLOAD;
+        (my $constname = $sub) =~ s/.*:://;
+        my $val = constant($constname, @_ ? $_[0] : 0);
+        if ($! != 0) {
+            if ($! =~ /Invalid/ || $!{EINVAL}) {
+                $AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD = $sub;
+                goto &AutoLoader::AUTOLOAD;
+            }
+            else {
+                croak "Your vendor has not defined constant $constname";
+            }
+        }
+        *$sub = sub { $val }; # same as: eval "sub $sub { $val }";
+        goto &$sub;
+    }
+
+If any module's own AUTOLOAD subroutine has no need to fallback to the
+AutoLoader's AUTOLOAD subroutine (because it doesn't have any AutoSplit
+subroutines), then that module should not use B<AutoLoader> at all.
+
+=head2 Package Lexicals
+
+Package lexicals declared with C<my> in the main block of a package
+using B<AutoLoader> will not be visible to auto-loaded subroutines, due to
+the fact that the given scope ends at the C<__END__> marker.  A module
+using such variables as package globals will not work properly under the
+B<AutoLoader>.
+
+The C<vars> pragma (see L<perlmod/"vars">) may be used in such
+situations as an alternative to explicitly qualifying all globals with
+the package namespace.  Variables pre-declared with this pragma will be
+visible to any autoloaded routines (but will not be invisible outside
+the package, unfortunately).
+
+=head2 Not Using AutoLoader
+
+You can stop using AutoLoader by simply
+
+	no AutoLoader;
+
+=head2 B<AutoLoader> vs. B<SelfLoader>
+
+The B<AutoLoader> is similar in purpose to B<SelfLoader>: both delay the
+loading of subroutines.
+
+B<SelfLoader> uses the C<__DATA__> marker rather than C<__END__>.
+While this avoids the use of a hierarchy of disk files and the
+associated open/close for each routine loaded, B<SelfLoader> suffers a
+startup speed disadvantage in the one-time parsing of the lines after
+C<__DATA__>, after which routines are cached.  B<SelfLoader> can also
+handle multiple packages in a file.
+
+B<AutoLoader> only reads code as it is requested, and in many cases
+should be faster, but requires a mechanism like B<AutoSplit> be used to
+create the individual files.  L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> will invoke
+B<AutoSplit> automatically if B<AutoLoader> is used in a module source
+file.
+
+=head2 Forcing AutoLoader to Load a Function
+
+Sometimes, it can be necessary or useful to make sure that a certain
+function is fully loaded by AutoLoader. This is the case, for example,
+when you need to wrap a function to inject debugging code. It is also
+helpful to force early loading of code before forking to make use of
+copy-on-write as much as possible.
+
+Starting with AutoLoader 5.73, you can call the
+C<AutoLoader::autoload_sub> function with the fully-qualified name of
+the function to load from its F<.al> file. The behaviour is exactly
+the same as if you called the function, triggering the regular
+C<AUTOLOAD> mechanism, but it does not actually execute the
+autoloaded function.
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+AutoLoaders prior to Perl 5.002 had a slightly different interface.  Any
+old modules which use B<AutoLoader> should be changed to the new calling
+style.  Typically this just means changing a require to a use, adding
+the explicit C<'AUTOLOAD'> import if needed, and removing B<AutoLoader>
+from C<@ISA>.
+
+On systems with restrictions on file name length, the file corresponding
+to a subroutine may have a shorter name that the routine itself.  This
+can lead to conflicting file names.  The I<AutoSplit> package warns of
+these potential conflicts when used to split a module.
+
+AutoLoader may fail to find the autosplit files (or even find the wrong
+ones) in cases where C<@INC> contains relative paths, B<and> the program
+does C<chdir>.

+=head1 NAME
+
+AutoSplit - split a package for autoloading
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ autosplit($file, $dir, $keep, $check, $modtime);
+
+ autosplit_lib_modules(@modules);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This function will split up your program into files that the AutoLoader
+module can handle. It is used by both the standard perl libraries and by
+the MakeMaker utility, to automatically configure libraries for autoloading.
+
+The C<autosplit> interface splits the specified file into a hierarchy 
+rooted at the directory C<$dir>. It creates directories as needed to reflect
+class hierarchy, and creates the file F<autosplit.ix>. This file acts as
+both forward declaration of all package routines, and as timestamp for the
+last update of the hierarchy.
+
+The remaining three arguments to C<autosplit> govern other options to
+the autosplitter.
+
+=over 2
+
+=item $keep
+
+If the third argument, I<$keep>, is false, then any
+pre-existing C<*.al> files in the autoload directory are removed if
+they are no longer part of the module (obsoleted functions).
+$keep defaults to 0.
+
+=item $check
+
+The
+fourth argument, I<$check>, instructs C<autosplit> to check the module
+currently being split to ensure that it includes a C<use>
+specification for the AutoLoader module, and skips the module if
+AutoLoader is not detected.
+$check defaults to 1.
+
+=item $modtime
+
+Lastly, the I<$modtime> argument specifies
+that C<autosplit> is to check the modification time of the module
+against that of the C<autosplit.ix> file, and only split the module if
+it is newer.
+$modtime defaults to 1.
+
+=back
+
+Typical use of AutoSplit in the perl MakeMaker utility is via the command-line
+with:
+
+ perl -e 'use AutoSplit; autosplit($ARGV[0], $ARGV[1], 0, 1, 1)'
+
+Defined as a Make macro, it is invoked with file and directory arguments;
+C<autosplit> will split the specified file into the specified directory and
+delete obsolete C<.al> files, after checking first that the module does use
+the AutoLoader, and ensuring that the module is not already currently split
+in its current form (the modtime test).
+
+The C<autosplit_lib_modules> form is used in the building of perl. It takes
+as input a list of files (modules) that are assumed to reside in a directory
+B<lib> relative to the current directory. Each file is sent to the 
+autosplitter one at a time, to be split into the directory B<lib/auto>.
+
+In both usages of the autosplitter, only subroutines defined following the
+perl I<__END__> token are split out into separate files. Some
+routines may be placed prior to this marker to force their immediate loading
+and parsing.
+
+=head2 Multiple packages
+
+As of version 1.01 of the AutoSplit module it is possible to have
+multiple packages within a single file. Both of the following cases
+are supported:
+
+   package NAME;
+   __END__
+   sub AAA { ... }
+   package NAME::option1;
+   sub BBB { ... }
+   package NAME::option2;
+   sub BBB { ... }
+
+   package NAME;
+   __END__
+   sub AAA { ... }
+   sub NAME::option1::BBB { ... }
+   sub NAME::option2::BBB { ... }
+
+=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
+
+C<AutoSplit> will inform the user if it is necessary to create the
+top-level directory specified in the invocation. It is preferred that
+the script or installation process that invokes C<AutoSplit> have
+created the full directory path ahead of time. This warning may
+indicate that the module is being split into an incorrect path.
+
+C<AutoSplit> will warn the user of all subroutines whose name causes
+potential file naming conflicts on machines with drastically limited
+(8 characters or less) file name length. Since the subroutine name is
+used as the file name, these warnings can aid in portability to such
+systems.
+
+Warnings are issued and the file skipped if C<AutoSplit> cannot locate
+either the I<__END__> marker or a "package Name;"-style specification.
+
+C<AutoSplit> will also emit general diagnostics for inability to
+create directories or files.

+
+ExtUtils::Command - utilities to replace common UNIX commands in Makefiles etc.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cat files... > destination
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e mv source... destination
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp source... destination
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e touch files...
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e rm_f files...

+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e test_f file
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e test_d directory
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e chmod mode files...
+  ...
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The module is used to replace common UNIX commands.  In all cases the
+functions work from @ARGV rather than taking arguments.  This makes
+them easier to deal with in Makefiles.  Call them like this:
+
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e some_command some files to work on
+
+and I<NOT> like this:
+
+  perl -MExtUtils::Command -e 'some_command qw(some files to work on)'
+
+For that use L<Shell::Command>.
+
+Filenames with * and ? will be glob expanded.
+
+

+
+B<FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY!>  The interface is not stable.

+
+Any $(FOO) used in the examples are make variables, not Perl.

+
+  test_harness($verbose, @test_libs);
+
+Runs the tests on @ARGV via Test::Harness passing through the $verbose
+flag.  Any @test_libs will be unshifted onto the test's @INC.
+
+@test_libs are run in alphabetical order.

+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Handles the installing and uninstalling of perl modules, scripts, man
+pages, etc...
+
+Both install() and uninstall() are specific to the way
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker handles the installation and deinstallation of
+perl modules. They are not designed as general purpose tools.
+
+On some operating systems such as Win32 installation may not be possible
+until after a reboot has occurred. This can have varying consequences:
+removing an old DLL does not impact programs using the new one, but if
+a new DLL cannot be installed properly until reboot then anything
+depending on it must wait. The package variable
+
+  $ExtUtils::Install::MUST_REBOOT
+
+is used to store this status.
+
+If this variable is true then such an operation has occurred and
+anything depending on this module cannot proceed until a reboot
+has occurred.
+
+If this value is defined but false then such an operation has
+occurred, but should not impact later operations.

+
+OS-Specific, Win32/Cygwin
+
+Tries to get a file out of the way by unlinking it or renaming it. On
+some OS'es (Win32 based) DLL files can end up locked such that they can
+be renamed but not deleted. Likewise sometimes a file can be locked such
+that it cant even be renamed or changed except at reboot. To handle
+these cases this routine finds a tempfile name that it can either rename
+the file out of the way or use as a proxy for the install so that the
+rename can happen later (at reboot).
+
+  $file : the file to remove.
+  $tryhard : should advanced tricks be used for deletion
+  $installing : we are not merely deleting but we want to overwrite
+
+When $tryhard is not true if the unlink fails its fatal. When $tryhard
+is true then the file is attempted to be renamed. The renamed file is
+then scheduled for deletion. If the rename fails then $installing
+governs what happens. If it is false the failure is fatal. If it is true
+then an attempt is made to schedule installation at boot using a
+temporary file to hold the new file. If this fails then a fatal error is
+thrown, if it succeeds it returns the temporary file name (which will be
+a derivative of the original in the same directory) so that the caller can
+use it to install under. In all other cases of success returns $file.
+On failure throws a fatal error.

+
+
+Copies each directory tree of %from_to to its corresponding value
+preserving timestamps and permissions.
+
+There are two keys with a special meaning in the hash: "read" and
+"write".  These contain packlist files.  After the copying is done,
+install() will write the list of target files to $from_to{write}. If
+$from_to{read} is given the contents of this file will be merged into
+the written file. The read and the written file may be identical, but
+on AFS it is quite likely that people are installing to a different
+directory than the one where the files later appear.
+
+If $verbose is true, will print out each file removed.  Default is
+false.  This is "make install VERBINST=1". $verbose values going
+up to 5 show increasingly more diagnostics output.
+
+If $dry_run is true it will only print what it was going to do
+without actually doing it.  Default is false.
+
+If $uninstall_shadows is true any differing versions throughout @INC
+will be uninstalled.  This is "make install UNINST=1"
+
+As of 1.37_02 install() supports the use of a list of patterns to filter out
+files that shouldn't be installed. If $skip is omitted or undefined then
+install will try to read the list from INSTALL.SKIP in the CWD. This file is
+a list of regular expressions and is just like the MANIFEST.SKIP file used
+by L<ExtUtils::Manifest>.
+
+A default site INSTALL.SKIP may be provided by setting then environment
+variable EU_INSTALL_SITE_SKIPFILE, this will only be used when there isn't a
+distribution specific INSTALL.SKIP. If the environment variable
+EU_INSTALL_IGNORE_SKIP is true then no install file filtering will be
+performed.
+
+If $skip is undefined then the skip file will be autodetected and used if it
+is found. If $skip is a reference to an array then it is assumed the array
+contains the list of patterns, if $skip is a true non reference it is
+assumed to be the filename holding the list of patterns, any other value of
+$skip is taken to mean that no install filtering should occur.
+
+B<Changes As of Version 1.47>
+
+As of version 1.47 the following additions were made to the install interface.
+Note that the new argument style and use of the %result hash is recommended.
+
+The $always_copy parameter which when true causes files to be updated
+regardless as to whether they have changed, if it is defined but false then
+copies are made only if the files have changed, if it is undefined then the
+value of the environment variable EU_INSTALL_ALWAYS_COPY is used as default.
+
+The %result hash will be populated with the various keys/subhashes reflecting
+the install. Currently these keys and their structure are:
+
+    install             => { $target    => $source },
+    install_fail        => { $target    => $source },
+    install_unchanged   => { $target    => $source },
+
+    install_filtered    => { $source    => $pattern },
+
+    uninstall           => { $uninstalled => $source },
+    uninstall_fail      => { $uninstalled => $source },
+
+where C<$source> is the filespec of the file being installed. C<$target> is where
+it is being installed to, and C<$uninstalled> is any shadow file that is in C<@INC>
+or C<$ENV{PERL5LIB}> or other standard locations, and C<$pattern> is the pattern that
+caused a source file to be skipped. In future more keys will be added, such as to
+show created directories, however this requires changes in other modules and must
+therefore wait.
+
+These keys will be populated before any exceptions are thrown should there be an
+error.
+
+Note that all updates of the %result are additive, the hash will not be
+cleared before use, thus allowing status results of many installs to be easily
+aggregated.
+
+B<NEW ARGUMENT STYLE>
+
+If there is only one argument and it is a reference to an array then
+the array is assumed to contain a list of key-value pairs specifying
+the options. In this case the option "from_to" is mandatory. This style
+means that you do not have to supply a cryptic list of arguments and can
+use a self documenting argument list that is easier to understand.
+
+This is now the recommended interface to install().
+
+B<RETURN>
+
+If all actions were successful install will return a hashref of the results
+as described above for the $result parameter. If any action is a failure
+then install will die, therefore it is recommended to pass in the $result
+parameter instead of using the return value. If the result parameter is
+provided then the returned hashref will be the passed in hashref.

+install location with no way to control site vs core vs vendor
+directories and the strange way in which the module name is given.
+Consider its use discouraged.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::Installed - Inventory management of installed modules
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+   use ExtUtils::Installed;
+   my ($inst) = ExtUtils::Installed->new( skip_cwd => 1 );
+   my (@modules) = $inst->modules();
+   my (@missing) = $inst->validate("DBI");
+   my $all_files = $inst->files("DBI");
+   my $files_below_usr_local = $inst->files("DBI", "all", "/usr/local");
+   my $all_dirs = $inst->directories("DBI");
+   my $dirs_below_usr_local = $inst->directory_tree("DBI", "prog");
+   my $packlist = $inst->packlist("DBI");
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ExtUtils::Installed  provides a standard way to find out what core and module
+files have been installed.  It uses the information stored in .packlist files
+created during installation to provide this information.  In addition it
+provides facilities to classify the installed files and to extract directory
+information from the .packlist files.
+
+=head1 USAGE
+
+The new() function searches for all the installed .packlists on the system, and
+stores their contents. The .packlists can be queried with the functions
+described below. Where it searches by default is determined by the settings found
+in C<%Config::Config>, and what the value is of the PERL5LIB environment variable.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+Unless specified otherwise all method can be called as class methods, or as object
+methods. If called as class methods then the "default" object will be used, and if
+necessary created using the current processes %Config and @INC.  See the
+'default' option to new() for details.
+
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new()
+
+This takes optional named parameters. Without parameters, this
+searches for all the installed .packlists on the system using
+information from C<%Config::Config> and the default module search
+paths C<@INC>. The packlists are read using the
+L<ExtUtils::Packlist> module.
+
+If the named parameter C<skip_cwd> is true, the current directory C<.> will
+be stripped from C<@INC> before searching for .packlists.  This keeps
+ExtUtils::Installed from finding modules installed in other perls that
+happen to be located below the current directory.
+
+If the named parameter C<config_override> is specified,
+it should be a reference to a hash which contains all information
+usually found in C<%Config::Config>. For example, you can obtain
+the configuration information for a separate perl installation and
+pass that in.
+
+    my $yoda_cfg  = get_fake_config('yoda');
+    my $yoda_inst =
+               ExtUtils::Installed->new(config_override=>$yoda_cfg);
+
+Similarly, the parameter C<inc_override> may be a reference to an
+array which is used in place of the default module search paths
+from C<@INC>.
+
+    use Config;
+    my @dirs = split(/\Q$Config{path_sep}\E/, $ENV{PERL5LIB});
+    my $p5libs = ExtUtils::Installed->new(inc_override=>\@dirs);
+
+B<Note>: You probably do not want to use these options alone, almost always
+you will want to set both together.
+
+The parameter C<extra_libs> can be used to specify B<additional> paths to
+search for installed modules. For instance
+
+    my $installed =
+             ExtUtils::Installed->new(extra_libs=>["/my/lib/path"]);
+
+This should only be necessary if F</my/lib/path> is not in PERL5LIB.
+
+Finally there is the 'default', and the related 'default_get' and 'default_set'
+options. These options control the "default" object which is provided by the
+class interface to the methods. Setting C<default_get> to true tells the constructor
+to return the default object if it is defined. Setting C<default_set> to true tells
+the constructor to make the default object the constructed object. Setting the
+C<default> option is like setting both to true. This is used primarily internally
+and probably isn't interesting to any real user.
+
+=item modules()
+
+This returns a list of the names of all the installed modules.  The perl 'core'
+is given the special name 'Perl'.
+
+=item files()
+
+This takes one mandatory parameter, the name of a module.  It returns a list of
+all the filenames from the package.  To obtain a list of core perl files, use
+the module name 'Perl'.  Additional parameters are allowed.  The first is one
+of the strings "prog", "doc" or "all", to select either just program files,
+just manual files or all files.  The remaining parameters are a list of
+directories. The filenames returned will be restricted to those under the
+specified directories.
+
+=item directories()
+
+This takes one mandatory parameter, the name of a module.  It returns a list of
+all the directories from the package.  Additional parameters are allowed.  The
+first is one of the strings "prog", "doc" or "all", to select either just
+program directories, just manual directories or all directories.  The remaining
+parameters are a list of directories. The directories returned will be
+restricted to those under the specified directories.  This method returns only
+the leaf directories that contain files from the specified module.
+
+=item directory_tree()
+
+This is identical in operation to directories(), except that it includes all the
+intermediate directories back up to the specified directories.
+
+=item validate()
+
+This takes one mandatory parameter, the name of a module.  It checks that all
+the files listed in the modules .packlist actually exist, and returns a list of
+any missing files.  If an optional second argument which evaluates to true is
+given any missing files will be removed from the .packlist
+
+=item packlist()
+
+This returns the ExtUtils::Packlist object for the specified module.
+
+=item version()
+
+This returns the version number for the specified module.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::Liblist - determine libraries to use and how to use them
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  require ExtUtils::Liblist;
+
+  $MM->ext($potential_libs, $verbose, $need_names);
+
+  # Usually you can get away with:
+  ExtUtils::Liblist->ext($potential_libs, $verbose, $need_names)
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This utility takes a list of libraries in the form C<-llib1 -llib2
+-llib3> and returns lines suitable for inclusion in an extension
+Makefile.  Extra library paths may be included with the form
+C<-L/another/path> this will affect the searches for all subsequent
+libraries.
+
+It returns an array of four or five scalar values: EXTRALIBS,
+BSLOADLIBS, LDLOADLIBS, LD_RUN_PATH, and, optionally, a reference to
+the array of the filenames of actual libraries.  Some of these don't
+mean anything unless on Unix.  See the details about those platform
+specifics below.  The list of the filenames is returned only if
+$need_names argument is true.
+
+Dependent libraries can be linked in one of three ways:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item * For static extensions
+
+by the ld command when the perl binary is linked with the extension
+library. See EXTRALIBS below.
+
+=item * For dynamic extensions at build/link time
+
+by the ld command when the shared object is built/linked. See
+LDLOADLIBS below.
+
+=item * For dynamic extensions at load time
+
+by the DynaLoader when the shared object is loaded. See BSLOADLIBS
+below.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 EXTRALIBS
+
+List of libraries that need to be linked with when linking a perl
+binary which includes this extension. Only those libraries that
+actually exist are included.  These are written to a file and used
+when linking perl.
+
+=head2 LDLOADLIBS and LD_RUN_PATH
+
+List of those libraries which can or must be linked into the shared
+library when created using ld. These may be static or dynamic
+libraries.  LD_RUN_PATH is a colon separated list of the directories
+in LDLOADLIBS. It is passed as an environment variable to the process
+that links the shared library.
+
+=head2 BSLOADLIBS
+
+List of those libraries that are needed but can be linked in
+dynamically at run time on this platform.  SunOS/Solaris does not need
+this because ld records the information (from LDLOADLIBS) into the
+object file.  This list is used to create a .bs (bootstrap) file.
+
+=head1 PORTABILITY
+
+This module deals with a lot of system dependencies and has quite a
+few architecture specific C<if>s in the code.
+
+=head2 VMS implementation
+
+The version of ext() which is executed under VMS differs from the
+Unix-OS/2 version in several respects:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item *
+
+Input library and path specifications are accepted with or without the
+C<-l> and C<-L> prefixes used by Unix linkers.  If neither prefix is
+present, a token is considered a directory to search if it is in fact
+a directory, and a library to search for otherwise.  Authors who wish
+their extensions to be portable to Unix or OS/2 should use the Unix
+prefixes, since the Unix-OS/2 version of ext() requires them.
+
+=item *
+
+Wherever possible, shareable images are preferred to object libraries,
+and object libraries to plain object files.  In accordance with VMS
+naming conventions, ext() looks for files named I<lib>shr and I<lib>rtl;
+it also looks for I<lib>lib and libI<lib> to accommodate Unix conventions
+used in some ported software.
+
+=item *
+
+For each library that is found, an appropriate directive for a linker options
+file is generated.  The return values are space-separated strings of
+these directives, rather than elements used on the linker command line.
+
+=item *
+
+LDLOADLIBS contains both the libraries found based on C<$potential_libs> and
+the CRTLs, if any, specified in Config.pm.  EXTRALIBS contains just those
+libraries found based on C<$potential_libs>.  BSLOADLIBS and LD_RUN_PATH
+are always empty.
+
+=back
+
+In addition, an attempt is made to recognize several common Unix library
+names, and filter them out or convert them to their VMS equivalents, as
+appropriate.
+
+In general, the VMS version of ext() should properly handle input from
+extensions originally designed for a Unix or VMS environment.  If you
+encounter problems, or discover cases where the search could be improved,
+please let us know.
+
+=head2 Win32 implementation
+
+The version of ext() which is executed under Win32 differs from the
+Unix-OS/2 version in several respects:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item *
+
+If C<$potential_libs> is empty, the return value will be empty.
+Otherwise, the libraries specified by C<$Config{perllibs}> (see Config.pm)
+will be appended to the list of C<$potential_libs>.  The libraries
+will be searched for in the directories specified in C<$potential_libs>,
+C<$Config{libpth}>, and in C<$Config{installarchlib}/CORE>.
+For each library that is found,  a space-separated list of fully qualified
+library pathnames is generated.
+
+=item *
+
+Input library and path specifications are accepted with or without the
+C<-l> and C<-L> prefixes used by Unix linkers.
+
+An entry of the form C<-La:\foo> specifies the C<a:\foo> directory to look
+for the libraries that follow.
+
+An entry of the form C<-lfoo> specifies the library C<foo>, which may be
+spelled differently depending on what kind of compiler you are using.  If
+you are using GCC, it gets translated to C<libfoo.a>, but for other win32
+compilers, it becomes C<foo.lib>.  If no files are found by those translated
+names, one more attempt is made to find them using either C<foo.a> or
+C<libfoo.lib>, depending on whether GCC or some other win32 compiler is
+being used, respectively.
+
+If neither the C<-L> or C<-l> prefix is present in an entry, the entry is
+considered a directory to search if it is in fact a directory, and a
+library to search for otherwise.  The C<$Config{lib_ext}> suffix will
+be appended to any entries that are not directories and don't already have
+the suffix.
+
+Note that the C<-L> and C<-l> prefixes are B<not required>, but authors
+who wish their extensions to be portable to Unix or OS/2 should use the
+prefixes, since the Unix-OS/2 version of ext() requires them.
+
+=item *
+
+Entries cannot be plain object files, as many Win32 compilers will
+not handle object files in the place of libraries.
+
+=item *
+
+Entries in C<$potential_libs> beginning with a colon and followed by
+alphanumeric characters are treated as flags.  Unknown flags will be ignored.
+
+An entry that matches C</:nodefault/i> disables the appending of default
+libraries found in C<$Config{perllibs}> (this should be only needed very rarely).
+
+An entry that matches C</:nosearch/i> disables all searching for
+the libraries specified after it.  Translation of C<-Lfoo> and
+C<-lfoo> still happens as appropriate (depending on compiler being used,
+as reflected by C<$Config{cc}>), but the entries are not verified to be
+valid files or directories.
+
+An entry that matches C</:search/i> reenables searching for
+the libraries specified after it.  You can put it at the end to
+enable searching for default libraries specified by C<$Config{perllibs}>.
+
+=item *
+
+The libraries specified may be a mixture of static libraries and
+import libraries (to link with DLLs).  Since both kinds are used
+pretty transparently on the Win32 platform, we do not attempt to
+distinguish between them.
+
+=item *
+
+LDLOADLIBS and EXTRALIBS are always identical under Win32, and BSLOADLIBS
+and LD_RUN_PATH are always empty (this may change in future).
+
+=item *
+
+You must make sure that any paths and path components are properly
+surrounded with double-quotes if they contain spaces. For example,
+C<$potential_libs> could be (literally):
+
+	"-Lc:\Program Files\vc\lib" msvcrt.lib "la test\foo bar.lib"
+
+Note how the first and last entries are protected by quotes in order
+to protect the spaces.
+
+=item *
+
+Since this module is most often used only indirectly from extension
+C<Makefile.PL> files, here is an example C<Makefile.PL> entry to add
+a library to the build process for an extension:
+
+        LIBS => ['-lgl']
+
+When using GCC, that entry specifies that MakeMaker should first look
+for C<libgl.a> (followed by C<gl.a>) in all the locations specified by
+C<$Config{libpth}>.
+
+When using a compiler other than GCC, the above entry will search for
+C<gl.lib> (followed by C<libgl.lib>).
+
+If the library happens to be in a location not in C<$Config{libpth}>,
+you need:
+
+        LIBS => ['-Lc:\gllibs -lgl']
+
+Here is a less often used example:
+
+        LIBS => ['-lgl', ':nosearch -Ld:\mesalibs -lmesa -luser32']
+
+This specifies a search for library C<gl> as before.  If that search
+fails to find the library, it looks at the next item in the list. The
+C<:nosearch> flag will prevent searching for the libraries that follow,
+so it simply returns the value as C<-Ld:\mesalibs -lmesa -luser32>,
+since GCC can use that value as is with its linker.
+
+When using the Visual C compiler, the second item is returned as
+C<-libpath:d:\mesalibs mesa.lib user32.lib>.
+
+When using the Borland compiler, the second item is returned as
+C<-Ld:\mesalibs mesa.lib user32.lib>, and MakeMaker takes care of
+moving the C<-Ld:\mesalibs> to the correct place in the linker
+command line.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::MM_Any - Platform-agnostic MM methods
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY!
+
+  package ExtUtils::MM_SomeOS;
+
+  # Temporarily, you have to subclass both.  Put MM_Any first.
+  require ExtUtils::MM_Any;
+  require ExtUtils::MM_Unix;
+  @ISA = qw(ExtUtils::MM_Any ExtUtils::Unix);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY!>
+
+ExtUtils::MM_Any is a superclass for the ExtUtils::MM_* set of
+modules.  It contains methods which are either inherently
+cross-platform or are written in a cross-platform manner.
+
+Subclass off of ExtUtils::MM_Any I<and> L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.  This is a
+temporary solution.
+
+B<THIS MAY BE TEMPORARY!>
+
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+Any methods marked I<Abstract> must be implemented by subclasses.
+
+
+=head2 Cross-platform helper methods
+
+These are methods which help writing cross-platform code.
+
+
+
+=head3 os_flavor  I<Abstract>
+
+    my @os_flavor = $mm->os_flavor;
+
+@os_flavor is the style of operating system this is, usually
+corresponding to the MM_*.pm file we're using.
+
+The first element of @os_flavor is the major family (ie. Unix,
+Windows, VMS, OS/2, etc...) and the rest are sub families.
+
+Some examples:
+
+    Cygwin98       ('Unix',  'Cygwin', 'Cygwin9x')
+    Windows        ('Win32')
+    Win98          ('Win32', 'Win9x')
+    Linux          ('Unix',  'Linux')
+    MacOS X        ('Unix',  'Darwin', 'MacOS', 'MacOS X')
+    OS/2           ('OS/2')
+
+This is used to write code for styles of operating system.
+See os_flavor_is() for use.
+
+
+=head3 os_flavor_is
+
+    my $is_this_flavor = $mm->os_flavor_is($this_flavor);
+    my $is_this_flavor = $mm->os_flavor_is(@one_of_these_flavors);
+
+Checks to see if the current operating system is one of the given flavors.
+
+This is useful for code like:
+
+    if( $mm->os_flavor_is('Unix') ) {
+        $out = `foo 2>&1`;
+    }
+    else {
+        $out = `foo`;
+    }
+

+}
+
+
+=head3 can_load_xs
+
+    my $can_load_xs = $self->can_load_xs;
+
+Returns true if we have the ability to load XS.
+
+This is important because miniperl, used to build XS modules in the
+core, can not load XS.
+

+
+=head3 can_run
+
+  use ExtUtils::MM;
+  my $runnable = MM->can_run($Config{make});
+
+If called in a scalar context it will return the full path to the binary
+you asked for if it was found, or C<undef> if it was not.
+
+If called in a list context, it will return a list of the full paths to instances
+of the binary where found in C<PATH>, or an empty list if it was not found.
+
+Copied from L<IPC::Cmd|IPC::Cmd/"$path = can_run( PROGRAM );">, but modified into
+a method (and removed C<$INSTANCES> capability).

+=head3 can_dep_space
+
+    my $can_dep_space = $self->can_dep_space;
+
+Returns true if C<make> can handle (probably by quoting)

+false for BSD pmake derivative.

+
+=head3 quote_dep
+
+  $text = $mm->quote_dep($text);
+
+Method that protects Makefile single-value constants (mainly filenames),
+so that make will still treat them as single values even if they
+inconveniently have spaces in. If the make program being used cannot
+achieve such protection and the given text would need it, throws an
+exception.

+
+
+=head3 split_command
+
+    my @cmds = $MM->split_command($cmd, @args);
+
+Most OS have a maximum command length they can execute at once.  Large
+modules can easily generate commands well past that limit.  Its
+necessary to split long commands up into a series of shorter commands.
+
+C<split_command> will return a series of @cmds each processing part of
+the args.  Collectively they will process all the arguments.  Each
+individual line in @cmds will not be longer than the
+$self->max_exec_len being careful to take into account macro expansion.
+
+$cmd should include any switches and repeated initial arguments. If it
+has newlines, they should be already escaped.
+
+If no @args are given, no @cmds will be returned.
+
+Pairs of arguments will always be preserved in a single command, this
+is a heuristic for things like pm_to_blib and pod2man which work on
+pairs of arguments.  This makes things like this safe:
+
+    $self->split_command($cmd, %pod2man);
+
+
+=cut

+
+
+=head3 stashmeta
+
+    my @recipelines = $MM->stashmeta($text, $file);
+
+Generates a set of C<@recipelines> which will result in the literal
+C<$text> ending up in literal C<$file> when the recipe is executed. Call
+it once, with all the text you want in C<$file>. Make macros will not
+be expanded, so the locations will be fixed at configure-time, not
+at build-time.

+
+    my @commands = $MM->echo($text);
+    my @commands = $MM->echo($text, $file);
+    my @commands = $MM->echo($text, $file, \%opts);
+
+Generates a set of @commands which print the $text to a $file.
+
+If $file is not given, output goes to STDOUT.
+
+If $opts{append} is true the $file will be appended to rather than
+overwritten.  Default is to overwrite.
+
+If $opts{allow_variables} is true, make variables of the form
+C<$(...)> will not be escaped.  Other C<$> will.  Default is to escape
+all C<$>.
+
+Example of use:
+
+    my $make = join '', map "\t$_\n", $MM->echo($text, $file);

+
+    return @cmds;
+}
+
+
+=head3 wraplist
+
+  my $args = $mm->wraplist(@list);
+
+Takes an array of items and turns them into a well-formatted list of
+arguments.  In most cases this is simply something like:
+
+    FOO \
+    BAR \
+    BAZ
+

+}
+
+
+=head3 maketext_filter
+
+    my $filter_make_text = $mm->maketext_filter($make_text);
+
+The text of the Makefile is run through this method before writing to
+disk.  It allows systems a chance to make portability fixes to the
+Makefile.
+
+By default it does nothing.
+
+This method is protected and not intended to be called outside of
+MakeMaker.
+
+=cut
+
+sub maketext_filter { return $_[1] }
+
+
+=head3 cd  I<Abstract>
+
+  my $subdir_cmd = $MM->cd($subdir, @cmds);
+
+This will generate a make fragment which runs the @cmds in the given
+$dir.  The rough equivalent to this, except cross platform.
+
+  cd $subdir && $cmd
+
+Currently $dir can only go down one level.  "foo" is fine.  "foo/bar" is
+not.  "../foo" is right out.
+
+The resulting $subdir_cmd has no leading tab nor trailing newline.  This
+makes it easier to embed in a make string.  For example.
+
+      my $make = sprintf <<'CODE', $subdir_cmd;
+  foo :
+      $(ECHO) what
+      %s
+      $(ECHO) mouche
+  CODE
+
+
+=head3 oneliner  I<Abstract>
+
+  my $oneliner = $MM->oneliner($perl_code);
+  my $oneliner = $MM->oneliner($perl_code, \@switches);
+
+This will generate a perl one-liner safe for the particular platform
+you're on based on the given $perl_code and @switches (a -e is
+assumed) suitable for using in a make target.  It will use the proper
+shell quoting and escapes.
+
+$(PERLRUN) will be used as perl.
+
+Any newlines in $perl_code will be escaped.  Leading and trailing
+newlines will be stripped.  Makes this idiom much easier:
+
+    my $code = $MM->oneliner(<<'CODE', [...switches...]);
+some code here
+another line here
+CODE
+
+Usage might be something like:
+
+    # an echo emulation
+    $oneliner = $MM->oneliner('print "Foo\n"');
+    $make = '$oneliner > somefile';
+
+Dollar signs in the $perl_code will be protected from make using the
+C<quote_literal> method, unless they are recognised as being a make
+variable, C<$(varname)>, in which case they will be left for make
+to expand. Remember to quote make macros else it might be used as a
+bareword. For example:
+
+    # Assign the value of the $(VERSION_FROM) make macro to $vf.
+    $oneliner = $MM->oneliner('$vf = "$(VERSION_FROM)"');
+
+It's currently very simple, and may be expanded sometime in the future
+to include more flexible code and switches.
+
+
+=head3 quote_literal  I<Abstract>
+
+    my $safe_text = $MM->quote_literal($text);
+    my $safe_text = $MM->quote_literal($text, \%options);
+
+This will quote $text so it is interpreted literally in the shell.
+
+For example, on Unix this would escape any single-quotes in $text and
+put single-quotes around the whole thing.
+
+If $options{allow_variables} is true it will leave C<'$(FOO)'> make
+variables untouched.  If false they will be escaped like any other
+C<$>.  Defaults to true.
+
+=head3 escape_dollarsigns
+
+    my $escaped_text = $MM->escape_dollarsigns($text);
+
+Escapes stray C<$> so they are not interpreted as make variables.
+
+It lets by C<$(...)>.

+
+    my $max_exec_len = $MM->max_exec_len;

+
+Once upon a time, MakeMaker could produce an approximation of a correct
+Makefile on MacOS Classic (MacPerl).  Due to a lack of maintainers, this
+fell out of sync with the rest of MakeMaker and hadn't worked in years.
+Since there's little chance of it being repaired, MacOS Classic is fading
+away, and the code was icky to begin with, the code has been deleted to
+make maintenance easier.
+
+Anyone interested in resurrecting this file should pull the old version
+from the MakeMaker CVS repository and contact makemaker@perl.org.

+
+ExtUtils::MM_Unix - methods used by ExtUtils::MakeMaker
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  require ExtUtils::MM_Unix;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The methods provided by this package are designed to be used in
+conjunction with L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>. When MakeMaker writes a
+Makefile, it creates one or more objects that inherit their methods
+from a package L<MM|ExtUtils::MM>. MM itself doesn't provide any methods, but
+it ISA ExtUtils::MM_Unix class. The inheritance tree of MM lets operating
+specific packages take the responsibility for all the methods provided
+by MM_Unix. We are trying to reduce the number of the necessary
+overrides by defining rather primitive operations within
+ExtUtils::MM_Unix.
+
+If you are going to write a platform specific MM package, please try
+to limit the necessary overrides to primitive methods, and if it is not
+possible to do so, let's work out how to achieve that gain.
+
+If you are overriding any of these methods in your Makefile.PL (in the
+MY class), please report that to the makemaker mailing list. We are
+trying to minimize the necessary method overrides and switch to data
+driven Makefile.PLs wherever possible. In the long run less methods
+will be overridable via the MY class.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+The following description of methods is still under
+development. Please refer to the code for not suitably documented
+sections and complain loudly to the makemaker@perl.org mailing list.
+Better yet, provide a patch.
+
+Not all of the methods below are overridable in a
+Makefile.PL. Overridable methods are marked as (o). All methods are
+overridable by a platform specific MM_*.pm file.
+
+Cross-platform methods are being moved into L<MM_Any|ExtUtils::MM_Any>.
+If you can't find something that used to be in here, look in MM_Any.

+  class to use for you.

+there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
+the semantics.

+# appears in @MM::ISA before ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid, so if there isn't an ext()
+# in MM_VMS, then AUTOLOAD is called, and bad things happen.  So, we just

+=head2 Methods
+
+Those methods which override default MM_Unix methods are marked
+"(override)", while methods unique to MM_VMS are marked "(specific)".
+For overridden methods, documentation is limited to an explanation
+of why this method overrides the MM_Unix method; see the L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>
+documentation for more details.

+=item guess_name (override)
+
+Try to determine name of extension being built.  We begin with the name
+of the current directory.  Since VMS filenames are case-insensitive,
+however, we look for a F<.pm> file whose name matches that of the current
+directory (presumably the 'main' F<.pm> file for this extension), and try
+to find a C<package> statement from which to obtain the Mixed::Case
+package name.

 =head1 NAME
 
-ExtUtils::MY - PerlOnJava stub for MakeMaker customization
+ExtUtils::MY - ExtUtils::MakeMaker subclass for customization
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  # in your Makefile.PL
+  sub MY::whatever {
+      ...
+  }
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-In traditional MakeMaker, MY is a subclass for user customizations.
-In PerlOnJava, this is a stub since we don't generate Makefiles.
+B<FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY>
+
+ExtUtils::MY is a subclass of L<ExtUtils::MM>.  It is provided in your
+Makefile.PL for you to add and override MakeMaker functionality.
+
+It also provides a convenient alias via the MY class.
+
+ExtUtils::MY might turn out to be a temporary solution, but MY won't
+go away.

-ExtUtils::MakeMaker - PerlOnJava implementation
+Return the first installed .pm $file associated with the $module.  The
+one which will show up when you C<use $module>.
 
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
+$module is something like "strict" or "Test::More".
 
-    # In Makefile.PL
-    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
-    
-    WriteMakefile(
-        NAME         => 'My::Module',

-This is a PerlOnJava-specific implementation of ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
-Instead of generating a Makefile for C compilation, it:

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker - Create a module Makefile
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
+
+  WriteMakefile(
+      NAME              => "Foo::Bar",
+      VERSION_FROM      => "lib/Foo/Bar.pm",
+  );
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
+from a Makefile.PL. 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.
+
+As there are various Make programs with incompatible syntax, which
+use operating system shells, again with incompatible syntax, it is
+important for users of this module to know which flavour of Make
+a Makefile has been written for so they'll use the correct one and
+won't have to face the possibly bewildering errors resulting from
+using the wrong one.
+
+On POSIX systems, that program will likely be GNU Make; on Microsoft
+Windows, it will be either Microsoft NMake, DMake or GNU Make.
+See the section on the L</"MAKE"> parameter for details.
+
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker (EUMM) 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().
+
+All inputs to WriteMakefile are Unicode characters, not just octets. EUMM
+seeks to handle all of these correctly. It is currently still not possible
+to portably use Unicode characters in module names, because this requires
+Perl to handle Unicode filenames, which is not yet the case on Windows.
+
+See L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ> for details of the design and usage.
+
+=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
+
+See L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial>.
+
+The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
+
+=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
+
+The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
+
+  perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
+  make
+  make test        # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
+  make install     # See below
+
+The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
+form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
+
+  perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~
+
+Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
+
+  make config     # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
+  make clean      # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
+  make realclean  # delete derived files (including ./blib)
+  make ci         # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
+  make dist       # see below the Distribution Support section
+
+=head2 make test
+
+MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
+current directory, and if it exists it executes the script with the
+proper set of perl C<-I> options.
+
+MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
+execute all matching files in alphabetical order via the
+L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I> switches set correctly.
+
+You can also organize your tests within subdirectories in the F<t/> directory.
+To do so, use the F<test> directive in your I<Makefile.PL>. For example, if you
+had tests in:
+
+    t/foo
+    t/foo/bar
+
+You could tell make to run tests in both of those directories with the
+following directives:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/*/*.t t/*/*/*.t'}
+    test => {TESTS => 't/foo/*.t t/foo/bar/*.t'}
+
+The first will run all test files in all first-level subdirectories and all
+subdirectories they contain. The second will run tests in only the F<t/foo>
+and F<t/foo/bar>.
+
+If you'd like to see the raw output of your tests, set the
+C<TEST_VERBOSE> variable to true.
+
+  make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
+
+If you want to run particular test files, set the C<TEST_FILES> variable.
+It is possible to use globbing with this mechanism.
+
+  make test TEST_FILES='t/foobar.t t/dagobah*.t'
+
+Windows users who are using C<nmake> should note that due to a bug in C<nmake>,
+when specifying C<TEST_FILES> you must use back-slashes instead of forward-slashes.
+
+  nmake test TEST_FILES='t\foobar.t t\dagobah*.t'
+
+=head2 make testdb
+
+A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the
+test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file
+F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test.
+
+If you want to debug some other testfile, set the C<TEST_FILE> variable
+thusly:
+
+  make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t
+
+By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you
+want to specify some other option, set the C<TESTDB_SW> variable:
+
+  make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx
+
+=head2 make install
+
+make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
+the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_MAN1DIR and
+INST_MAN3DIR.  All these default to something below ./blib if you are
+I<not> building below the perl source directory. If you I<are>
+building below the perl source, INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to
+../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not defined.
+
+The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
+below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
+counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
+INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
+
+                                 INSTALLDIRS set to
+                           perl        site          vendor
+
+                 PERLPREFIX      SITEPREFIX          VENDORPREFIX
+  INST_ARCHLIB   INSTALLARCHLIB  INSTALLSITEARCH     INSTALLVENDORARCH
+  INST_LIB       INSTALLPRIVLIB  INSTALLSITELIB      INSTALLVENDORLIB
+  INST_BIN       INSTALLBIN      INSTALLSITEBIN      INSTALLVENDORBIN
+  INST_SCRIPT    INSTALLSCRIPT   INSTALLSITESCRIPT   INSTALLVENDORSCRIPT
+  INST_MAN1DIR   INSTALLMAN1DIR  INSTALLSITEMAN1DIR  INSTALLVENDORMAN1DIR
+  INST_MAN3DIR   INSTALLMAN3DIR  INSTALLSITEMAN3DIR  INSTALLVENDORMAN3DIR
+
+The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
+($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
+
+You can check the values of these variables on your system with
+
+    perl '-V:install.*'
+
+And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
+searched by perl, run
+
+    perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
+
+Sometimes older versions of the module you're installing live in other
+directories in @INC.  Because Perl loads the first version of a module it
+finds, not the newest, you might accidentally get one of these older
+versions even after installing a brand new version.  To delete I<all other
+versions of the module you're installing> (not simply older ones) set the
+C<UNINST> variable.
+
+    make install UNINST=1
+
+
+=head2 INSTALL_BASE
+
+INSTALL_BASE can be passed into Makefile.PL to change where your
+module will be installed.  INSTALL_BASE is more like what everyone
+else calls "prefix" than PREFIX is.
+
+To have everything installed in your home directory, do the following.
+
+    # Unix users, INSTALL_BASE=~ works fine
+    perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/path/to/your/home/dir
+
+Like PREFIX, it sets several INSTALL* attributes at once.  Unlike
+PREFIX it is easy to predict where the module will end up.  The
+installation pattern looks like this:
+
+    INSTALLARCHLIB     INSTALL_BASE/lib/perl5/$Config{archname}
+    INSTALLPRIVLIB     INSTALL_BASE/lib/perl5
+    INSTALLBIN         INSTALL_BASE/bin
+    INSTALLSCRIPT      INSTALL_BASE/bin
+    INSTALLMAN1DIR     INSTALL_BASE/man/man1
+    INSTALLMAN3DIR     INSTALL_BASE/man/man3
+
+INSTALL_BASE in MakeMaker and C<--install_base> in Module::Build (as
+of 0.28) install to the same location.  If you want MakeMaker and
+Module::Build to install to the same location simply set INSTALL_BASE
+and C<--install_base> to the same location.
+
+INSTALL_BASE was added in 6.31.
+
+
+=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
+
+PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
+go.  Here's an example for installing into your home directory.
+
+    # Unix users, PREFIX=~ works fine
+    perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/path/to/your/home/dir
+
+This will install all files in the module under your home directory,
+with man pages and libraries going into an appropriate place (usually
+~/man and ~/lib).  How the exact location is determined is complicated
+and depends on how your Perl was configured.  INSTALL_BASE works more
+like what other build systems call "prefix" than PREFIX and we
+recommend you use that instead.
+
+Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
+parameter is LIB.
+
+    perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
+
+This will install the module's architecture-independent files into
+~/lib, the architecture-dependent files into ~/lib/$archname.
+
+Note, that in both cases the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not
+by perl by default, nor by make.
+
+Conflicts between parameters LIB, PREFIX and the various INSTALL*
+arguments are resolved so that:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+setting LIB overrides any setting of INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB,
+INSTALLSITELIB, INSTALLSITEARCH (and they are not affected by PREFIX);
+
+=item *
+
+without LIB, setting PREFIX replaces the initial C<$Config{prefix}>
+part of those INSTALL* arguments, even if the latter are explicitly
+set (but are set to still start with C<$Config{prefix}>).
+
+=back
+
+If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS or
+relatives, then the defaults for INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB,
+INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate, and this incantation will be
+the best:
+
+    perl Makefile.PL;
+    make;
+    make test
+    make install
+
+make install by default writes some documentation of what has been
+done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
+can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
+
+=head2 AFS users
+
+will have to specify the installation directories as these most
+probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
+have to do this by calling
+
+    perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
+        INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
+    make
+
+Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
+extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
+still valid.
+
+=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
+
+An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
+systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
+dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
+with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
+by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
+is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
+
+    make perl
+
+That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
+extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB, SITELIBEXP,
+and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
+UNIX, this is called F<Makefile.aperl> (may be system dependent). If you
+want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended that you
+delete this F<Makefile.aperl>, so the directories are searched through
+for linkable libraries again.
+
+The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
+resides on your machine with
+
+    make inst_perl
+
+To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
+
+    perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
+    make myperl
+    make inst_perl
+
+or say
+
+    perl Makefile.PL
+    make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
+    make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
+
+In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
+C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
+
+make inst_perl by default writes some documentation of what has been
+done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
+can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
+
+Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
+existing perl binary. Use with care!
+
+Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
+your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
+set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
+
+    perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static    # recommended
+
+or
+
+    make LINKTYPE=static                # works on most systems
+
+=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
+
+MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
+located.  Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
+during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
+existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
+
+Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
+directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
+is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
+itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
+below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
+directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
+extensions that come with perl.
+
+If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
+source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
+C<../..>).  If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
+a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
+
+  PERL_INC     = PERL_SRC
+  PERL_LIB     = PERL_SRC/lib
+  PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
+  INST_LIB     = PERL_LIB
+  INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
+
+If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
+will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
+of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
+
+  PERL_INC     = $archlibexp/CORE
+  PERL_LIB     = $privlibexp
+  PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
+  INST_LIB     = ./blib/lib
+  INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
+
+If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
+command line as shown in the previous section.
+
+
+=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
+
+If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
+MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
+relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
+by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
+sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
+then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
+INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config,
+otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
+for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
+
+MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
+internal variables and get different results. It is worth mentioning
+that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
+used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
+be necessary, and should only be done if the author of a package
+recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
+
+=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
+
+The following attributes may be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
+or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line. Attributes that became
+available with later versions of MakeMaker are indicated.
+
+A computer-readable list of recognized attributes is available as
+C<%ExtUtils::MakeMakers::Recognized_Att_Keys>, supported since 7.72.  You
+can check whether a particular parameter is supported by the current
+version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker by checking whether it exists in the hash.
+
+In order to maintain portability of attributes with older versions of
+MakeMaker you may want to use L<App::EUMM::Upgrade> with your C<Makefile.PL>.
+
+=over 2
+
+=item ABSTRACT
+
+One line description of the module. Will be included in PPD file.
+
+=item ABSTRACT_FROM
+
+Name of the file that contains the package description. MakeMaker looks
+for a line in the POD matching /^($package\s-\s)(.*)/. This is typically
+the first line in the "=head1 NAME" section. $2 becomes the abstract.
+
+=item AUTHOR
+
+Array of strings containing name (and email address) of package author(s).
+Is used in CPAN Meta files (META.yml or META.json) and PPD
+(Perl Package Description) files for PPM (Perl Package Manager).
+
+=item BINARY_LOCATION
+
+Used when creating PPD files for binary packages.  It can be set to a
+full or relative path or URL to the binary archive for a particular
+architecture.  For example:
+
+        perl Makefile.PL BINARY_LOCATION=x86/Agent.tar.gz
+
+builds a PPD package that references a binary of the C<Agent> package,
+located in the C<x86> directory relative to the PPD itself.
+
+=item BUILD_REQUIRES
+
+Available in version 6.55_03 and above.
+
+A hash of modules that are needed to build your module but not run it.
+
+This will go into the C<build_requires> field of your F<META.yml> and the C<build> of the C<prereqs> field of your F<META.json>.
+
+Defaults to C<<< { "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" => 0 } >>> if this attribute is not specified.
+
+The format is the same as PREREQ_PM.
+
+=item C
+
+Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
+and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
+currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
+
+=item CCFLAGS
+
+String that will be included in the compiler call command line between
+the arguments INC and OPTIMIZE. Note that setting this will overwrite its
+default value (C<$Config::Config{ccflags}>); to preserve that, include
+the default value directly, e.g.:
+
+    CCFLAGS => "$Config::Config{ccflags} ..."
+
+=item CONFIG
+
+Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
+config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
+ar
+cc
+cccdlflags
+ccdlflags
+cpprun
+dlext
+dlsrc
+ld
+lddlflags
+ldflags
+libc
+lib_ext
+obj_ext
+ranlib
+sitelibexp
+sitearchexp
+so
+
+=item CONFIGURE
+
+CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
+hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to
+be determined by some evaluation method.
+
+=item CONFIGURE_REQUIRES
+
+Available in version 6.52 and above.
+
+A hash of modules that are required to run Makefile.PL itself, but not
+to run your distribution.
+
+This will go into the C<configure_requires> field of your F<META.yml> and the C<configure> of the C<prereqs> field of your F<META.json>.
+
+Defaults to C<<< { "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" => 0 } >>> if this attribute is not specified.
+
+The format is the same as PREREQ_PM.
+
+=item DEFINE
+
+Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
+
+=item DESTDIR
+
+This is the root directory into which the code will be installed.  It
+I<prepends itself to the normal prefix>.  For example, if your code
+would normally go into F</usr/local/lib/perl> you could set DESTDIR=~/tmp/
+and installation would go into F<~/tmp/usr/local/lib/perl>.
+
+This is primarily of use for people who repackage Perl modules.
+
+NOTE: Due to the nature of make, it is important that you put the trailing
+slash on your DESTDIR.  F<~/tmp/> not F<~/tmp>.
+
+=item DIR
+
+Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. ['sdbm']
+in ext/SDBM_File
+
+=item DISTNAME
+
+A safe filename for the package.
+
+Defaults to NAME below but with :: replaced with -.
+
+For example, Foo::Bar becomes Foo-Bar.
+
+=item DISTVNAME
+
+Your name for distributing the package with the version number
+included.  This is used by 'make dist' to name the resulting archive
+file.
+
+Defaults to DISTNAME-VERSION.
+
+For example, version 1.04 of Foo::Bar becomes Foo-Bar-1.04.
+
+On some OS's where . has special meaning VERSION_SYM may be used in
+place of VERSION.
+
+=item DLEXT
+
+Specifies the extension of the module's loadable object. For example:
+
+  DLEXT => 'unusual_ext', # Default value is $Config{so}
+
+NOTE: When using this option to alter the extension of a module's
+loadable object, it is also necessary that the module's pm file
+specifies the same change:
+
+  local $DynaLoader::dl_dlext = 'unusual_ext';
+
+=item DL_FUNCS
+
+Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as universal
+symbols.  Each key/value pair consists of the package name and an
+array of routine names in that package.  Used only under AIX, OS/2,
+VMS and Win32 at present.  The routine names supplied will be expanded
+in the same way as XSUB names are expanded by the XS() macro.
+Defaults to
+
+  {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
+
+e.g.
+
+  {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
+   "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
+
+Please see the L<ExtUtils::Mksymlists> documentation for more information
+about the DL_FUNCS, DL_VARS and FUNCLIST attributes.
+
+=item DL_VARS
+
+Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as universal symbols.
+Used only under AIX, OS/2, VMS and Win32 at present.  Defaults to [].
+(e.g. [ qw(Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
+
+=item EXCLUDE_EXT
+
+Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build.  This
+is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present.  Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
+details.  (e.g.  [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
+
+This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
+command line:  perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
+
+=item EXE_FILES
+
+Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
+INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
+again.
+
+If your executables start with something like #!perl or
+#!/usr/bin/perl MakeMaker will change this to the path of the perl
+'Makefile.PL' was invoked with so the programs will be sure to run
+properly even if perl is not in /usr/bin/perl.
+
+=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
+
+The name of the Makefile to be produced.  This is used for the second
+Makefile that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
+
+Defaults to 'Makefile' or 'Descrip.MMS' on VMS.
+
+(Note: we couldn't use MAKEFILE because dmake uses this for something
+else).
+
+=item FULLPERL
+
+Perl binary able to run this extension, load XS modules, etc...
+
+=item FULLPERLRUN
+
+Like PERLRUN, except it uses FULLPERL.
+
+=item FULLPERLRUNINST
+
+Like PERLRUNINST, except it uses FULLPERL.
+
+=item FUNCLIST
+
+This provides an alternate means to specify function names to be
+exported from the extension.  Its value is a reference to an
+array of function names to be exported by the extension.  These
+names are passed through unaltered to the linker options file.
+
+=item H
+
+Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
+
+=item IMPORTS
+
+This attribute is used to specify names to be imported into the
+extension. Takes a hash ref.
+
+It is only used on OS/2 and Win32.
+
+=item INC
+
+Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
+
+=item INCLUDE_EXT
+
+Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
+MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
+doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior.  If
+INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
+which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g.  [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
+
+It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
+filling in INCLUDE_EXT.  If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
+only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
+

+=item INSTALLSITESCRIPT
+
+Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this

+
+=item INSTALLVENDORARCH
+
+Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this

+this, the value of INSTALLVENDORLIB will be used, which is probably not
+what you want.
+
+=item INSTALLVENDORBIN
+
+Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_BIN to this

+
+=item INST_ARCHLIB
+
+Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
+
+=item INST_BIN
+
+Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
+to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
+
+=item INST_LIB
+
+Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
+it.
+
+=item INST_MAN1DIR
+
+Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
+
+=item INST_MAN3DIR
+
+Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
+
+=item INST_SCRIPT
+
+Directory where executable files should be installed during
+'make'. Defaults to "./blib/script", just to have a dummy location during
+testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
+INSTALLSCRIPT.
+
+=item LD
+
+Program to be used to link libraries for dynamic loading.
+
+Defaults to $Config{ld}.
+
+=item LDDLFLAGS
+
+Any special flags that might need to be passed to ld to create a
+shared library suitable for dynamic loading.  It is up to the makefile
+to use it.  (See L<Config/lddlflags>)
+
+Defaults to $Config{lddlflags}.
+
+=item LDFROM
+
+Defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
+what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
+specify ld flags)
+
+=item LIB
+
+LIB should only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time but is allowed as a
+MakeMaker argument. It has the effect of setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB
+and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any explicit setting of
+those arguments (or of PREFIX).  INSTALLARCHLIB and INSTALLSITEARCH
+are set to the corresponding architecture subdirectory.
+
+=item LIBPERL_A
+
+The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
+extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
+
+=item LIBS
+
+An anonymous array of alternative library
+specifications to be searched for (in order) until
+at least one library is found. E.g.
+
+  'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
+
+Mind, that any element of the array
+contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
+command. So do not specify
+
+  'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
+
+See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
+you specify a scalar as in
+
+  'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
+
+MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
+
+=item LICENSE
+
+Available in version 6.31 and above.
+
+The licensing terms of your distribution.  Generally it's "perl_5" for the
+same license as Perl itself.
+
+See L<CPAN::Meta::Spec> for the list of options.
+
+Defaults to "unknown".
+
+=item LINKTYPE
+
+'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
+config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
+linkext below).
+
+=item MAGICXS
+
+Available in version 6.8305 and above.
+
+When this is set to C<1>, C<OBJECT> will be automagically derived from
+C<O_FILES>.
+
+=item MAKE
+
+Available in version 6.30_01 and above.
+
+Variant of make you intend to run the generated Makefile with.  This
+parameter lets Makefile.PL know what make quirks to account for when
+generating the Makefile.
+
+MakeMaker also honors the MAKE environment variable.  This parameter
+takes precedence.
+
+Currently the only significant values are 'dmake' and 'nmake' for Windows
+users, instructing MakeMaker to generate a Makefile in the flavour of
+DMake ("Dennis Vadura's Make") or Microsoft NMake respectively.
+
+Defaults to $Config{make}, which may go looking for a Make program
+in your environment.
+
+How are you supposed to know what flavour of Make a Makefile has
+been generated for if you didn't specify a value explicitly? Search
+the generated Makefile for the definition of the MAKE variable,
+which is used to recursively invoke the Make utility. That will tell
+you what Make you're supposed to invoke the Makefile with.
+
+=item MAKEAPERL
+
+Boolean which tells MakeMaker that it should include the rules to
+make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
+MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
+
+=item MAKEFILE_OLD
+
+When 'make clean' or similar is run, the $(FIRST_MAKEFILE) will be
+backed up at this location.
+
+Defaults to $(FIRST_MAKEFILE).old or $(FIRST_MAKEFILE)_old on VMS.
+
+=item MAN1PODS
+
+Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
+EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
+here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
+at Configure time.
+
+This hash should map POD files (or scripts containing POD) to the
+man file names under the C<blib/man1/> directory, as in the following
+example:
+
+  MAN1PODS            => {
+    'doc/command.pod'    => 'blib/man1/command.1',
+    'scripts/script.pl'  => 'blib/man1/script.1',
+  }
+
+=item MAN3PODS
+
+Hashref that assigns to *.pm and *.pod files the files into which the
+manpages are to be written. MakeMaker parses all *.pod and *.pm files
+for POD directives. Files that contain POD will be the default keys of
+the MAN3PODS hashref. These will then be converted to man pages during
+C<make> and will be installed during C<make install>.
+
+Example similar to MAN1PODS.
+
+=item MAP_TARGET
+
+If it is intended that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
+may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
+
+=item META_ADD
+
+=item META_MERGE
+
+Available in version 6.46 and above.
+
+A hashref of items to add to the CPAN Meta file (F<META.yml> or
+F<META.json>).
+
+They differ in how they behave if they have the same key as the
+default metadata.  META_ADD will override the default value with its
+own.  META_MERGE will merge its value with the default.
+
+Unless you want to override the defaults, prefer META_MERGE so as to
+get the advantage of any future defaults.
+
+Where prereqs are concerned, if META_MERGE is used, prerequisites are merged
+with their counterpart C<WriteMakefile()> argument
+(PREREQ_PM is merged into {prereqs}{runtime}{requires},
+BUILD_REQUIRES into C<{prereqs}{build}{requires}>,
+CONFIGURE_REQUIRES into C<{prereqs}{configure}{requires}>,
+and TEST_REQUIRES into C<{prereqs}{test}{requires})>.
+When prereqs are specified with META_ADD, the only prerequisites added to the
+file come from the metadata, not C<WriteMakefile()> arguments.
+
+Note that these configuration options are only used for generating F<META.yml>
+and F<META.json> -- they are NOT used for F<MYMETA.yml> and F<MYMETA.json>.
+Therefore data in these fields should NOT be used for dynamic (user-side)
+configuration.
+
+By default CPAN Meta specification C<1.4> is used. In order to use
+CPAN Meta specification C<2.0>, indicate with C<meta-spec> the version
+you want to use.
+
+  META_MERGE        => {
+
+    "meta-spec" => { version => 2 },
+
+    resources => {
+
+      repository => {
+          type => 'git',
+          url => 'git://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker.git',
+          web => 'https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker',
+      },
+
+    },
+
+  },
+
+=item MIN_PERL_VERSION
+
+Available in version 6.48 and above.
+
+The minimum required version of Perl for this distribution.
+
+Either the 5.006001 or the 5.6.1 format is acceptable.
+
+=item MYEXTLIB
+
+If the extension links to a library that it builds, set this to the
+name of the library (see SDBM_File)
+
+=item NAME
+
+The package representing the distribution. For example, C<Test::More>
+or C<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>. It will be used to derive information about
+the distribution such as the L</DISTNAME>, installation locations
+within the Perl library and where XS files will be looked for by
+default (see L</XS>).
+
+C<NAME> I<must> be a valid Perl package name and it I<must> have an
+associated C<.pm> file. For example, C<Foo::Bar> is a valid C<NAME>
+and there must exist F<Foo/Bar.pm>.  Any XS code should be in
+F<Bar.xs> unless stated otherwise.
+
+Your distribution B<must> have a C<NAME>.
+
+=item NEEDS_LINKING
+
+MakeMaker will figure out if an extension contains linkable code
+anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
+accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit if you define
+this boolean variable yourself.
+
+=item NOECHO
+
+Command so make does not print the literal commands it's running.
+
+By setting it to an empty string you can generate a Makefile that
+prints all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker itself.
+
+Defaults to C<@>.
+
+=item NORECURS
+
+Boolean.  Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
+
+=item NO_META
+
+When true, suppresses the generation and addition to the MANIFEST of
+the META.yml and META.json module meta-data files during 'make distdir'.
+
+Defaults to false.
+
+=item NO_MYMETA
+
+Available in version 6.57_02 and above.
+
+When true, suppresses the generation of MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json module
+meta-data files during 'perl Makefile.PL'.
+
+Defaults to false.
+
+=item NO_PACKLIST
+
+Available in version 6.7501 and above.
+
+When true, suppresses the writing of C<packlist> files for installs.
+
+Defaults to false.
+
+=item NO_PERLLOCAL
+
+Available in version 6.7501 and above.
+
+When true, suppresses the appending of installations to C<perllocal>.
+
+Defaults to false.
+
+=item NO_VC
+
+In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
+MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
+set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
+Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
+
+=item OBJECT
+
+List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
+string or an array containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
+tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o" or ["tkpBind.o", "tkpButton.o", "tkpCanvas.o"]
+
+(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME, and OBJ_EXT is $Config{obj_ext}.)
+
+=item OPTIMIZE
+
+Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
+passed to subdirectory makes.
+
+=item PERL
+
+Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl. If it contains
+spaces or other shell metacharacters, it needs to be quoted in a way
+that protects them, since this value is intended to be inserted in a
+shell command line in the Makefile. E.g.:
+
+  # Perl executable lives in "C:/Program Files/Perl/bin"
+  # Normally you don't need to set this yourself!
+  $ perl Makefile.PL PERL='"C:/Program Files/Perl/bin/perl.exe" -w'
+
+=item PERL_CORE
+
+Set only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
+distribution.
+
+=item PERLMAINCC
+
+The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
+to $(CC).
+
+=item PERL_ARCHLIB
+
+Same as for PERL_LIB, but for architecture dependent files.
+
+Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
+distribution (because normally $(PERL_ARCHLIB) is automatically in @INC,
+and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB).
+
+=item PERL_LIB
+
+Directory containing the Perl library to use.
+
+Used only when MakeMaker is building the extensions of the Perl core
+distribution (because normally $(PERL_LIB) is automatically in @INC,
+and adding it would get in the way of PERL5LIB).
+
+=item PERL_MALLOC_OK
+
+defaults to 0.  Should be set to TRUE if the extension can work with
+the memory allocation routines substituted by the Perl malloc() subsystem.
+This should be applicable to most extensions with exceptions of those
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+with bugs in memory allocations which are caught by Perl's malloc();
+
+=item *
+
+which interact with the memory allocator in other ways than via
+malloc(), realloc(), free(), calloc(), sbrk() and brk();
+
+=item *
+
+which rely on special alignment which is not provided by Perl's malloc().
+
+=back
+
+B<NOTE.>  Neglecting to set this flag in I<any one> of the loaded extension
+nullifies many advantages of Perl's malloc(), such as better usage of
+system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure
+of memory allocations, etc.
+
+=item PERLPREFIX
+
+Directory under which core modules are to be installed.
+
+Defaults to $Config{installprefixexp}, falling back to
+$Config{installprefix}, $Config{prefixexp} or $Config{prefix} should
+$Config{installprefixexp} not exist.
+
+Overridden by PREFIX.
+
+=item PERLRUN
+
+Use this instead of $(PERL) when you wish to run perl.  It will set up
+extra necessary flags for you.
+
+=item PERLRUNINST
+
+Use this instead of $(PERL) when you wish to run perl to work with
+modules.  It will add things like -I$(INST_ARCH) and other necessary
+flags so perl can see the modules you're about to install.
+
+=item PERL_SRC
+
+Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
+avoided, it may be undefined)
+
+=item PERM_DIR
+
+Available in version 6.51_01 and above.
+
+Desired permission for directories. Defaults to C<755>.
+
+=item PERM_RW
+
+Desired permission for read/writable files. Defaults to C<644>.
+
+=item PERM_RWX
+
+Desired permission for executable files. Defaults to C<755>.
+
+=item PL_FILES
+
+MakeMaker can run programs to generate files for you at build time.
+By default any file named *.PL (except Makefile.PL and Build.PL) in
+the top level directory will be assumed to be a Perl program and run
+passing its own basename in as an argument.  This basename is actually a build
+target, and there is an intention, but not a requirement, that the *.PL file
+make the file passed to to as an argument. For example...
+
+    perl foo.PL foo
+
+This behavior can be overridden by supplying your own set of files to
+search.  PL_FILES accepts a hash ref, the key being the file to run
+and the value is passed in as the first argument when the PL file is run.
+
+    PL_FILES => {'bin/foobar.PL' => 'bin/foobar'}
+
+    PL_FILES => {'foo.PL' => 'foo.c'}
+
+Would run bin/foobar.PL like this:
+
+    perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar
+
+If multiple files from one program are desired an array ref can be used.
+
+    PL_FILES => {'bin/foobar.PL' => [qw(bin/foobar1 bin/foobar2)]}
+
+In this case the program will be run multiple times using each target file.
+
+    perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar1
+    perl bin/foobar.PL bin/foobar2
+
+If an output file depends on extra input files beside the script itself,
+a hash ref can be used in version 7.36 and above:
+
+    PL_FILES => { 'foo.PL' => {
+        'foo.out' => 'foo.in',
+        'bar.out' => [qw(bar1.in bar2.in)],
+    }
+
+In this case the extra input files will be passed to the program after
+the target file:
+
+   perl foo.PL foo.out foo.in
+   perl foo.PL bar.out bar1.in bar2.in
+
+PL files are normally run B<after> pm_to_blib and include INST_LIB and
+INST_ARCH in their C<@INC>, so the just built modules can be
+accessed... unless the PL file is making a module (or anything else in
+PM) in which case it is run B<before> pm_to_blib and does not include
+INST_LIB and INST_ARCH in its C<@INC>.  This apparently odd behavior
+is there for backwards compatibility (and it's somewhat DWIM).  The argument
+passed to the .PL is set up as a target to build in the Makefile.  In other
+sections such as C<postamble> you can specify a dependency on the
+filename/argument that the .PL is supposed (or will have, now that that is
+is a dependency) to generate.  Note the file to be generated will still be
+generated and the .PL will still run even without an explicit dependency created
+by you, since the C<all> target still depends on running all eligible to run.PL
+files.
+
+=item PM
+
+Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed.  e.g.
+
+  {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIB)/install_as.pm'}
+
+By default this will include *.pm and *.pl and the files found in
+the PMLIBDIRS directories.  Defining PM in the
+Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
+
+=item PMLIBDIRS
+
+Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files.  Defaults to
+[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and I<any> files
+they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
+library.  A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
+Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
+
+(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME.)
+
+=item PM_FILTER
+
+A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense (input from stdin, output
+to stdout) that is passed on each .pm file during the build (in the
+pm_to_blib() phase).  It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done.
+You could use:
+
+  PM_FILTER => 'perl -ne "print unless /^#/"',
+
+to remove all the leading comments on the fly during the build.  In order
+to be as portable as possible, please consider using a Perl one-liner
+rather than Unix (or other) utilities, as above. MakeMaker will escape the
+C<#> for the Makefile, since what goes in the Makefile will depend on
+which C<make> implementation is being targeted.
+
+You will almost certainly be better off using the C<PL_FILES> system,
+instead. See above, or the L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ> entry.
+
+=item POLLUTE
+
+Prior to 5.6 various interpreter variables were available without a C<PL_>
+prefix, eg. C<PL_undef> was available as C<undef>. As of release 5.6, these
+are only defined if the POLLUTE flag is enabled:
+
+  perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
+
+Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install
+a module under 5.6 or later.
+
+=item PPM_INSTALL_EXEC
+
+Name of the executable used to run C<PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT> below. (e.g. perl)
+
+=item PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT
+
+Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager after
+the installation of a package.
+
+=item PPM_UNINSTALL_EXEC
+
+Available in version 6.8502 and above.
+
+Name of the executable used to run C<PPM_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT> below. (e.g. perl)
+
+=item PPM_UNINSTALL_SCRIPT
+
+Available in version 6.8502 and above.
+
+Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager before
+the removal of a package.
+
+=item PREFIX
+
+This overrides all the default install locations.  Man pages,
+libraries, scripts, etc...  MakeMaker will try to make an educated
+guess about where to place things under the new PREFIX based on your
+Config defaults.  Failing that, it will fall back to a structure
+which should be sensible for your platform.
+
+If you specify LIB or any INSTALL* variables they will not be affected
+by the PREFIX.
+
+=item PREREQ_FATAL
+
+Bool. If this parameter is true, failing to have the required modules
+(or the right versions thereof) will be fatal. C<perl Makefile.PL>
+will C<die> instead of simply informing the user of the missing dependencies.
+
+It is I<extremely> rare to have to use C<PREREQ_FATAL>. Its use by module
+authors is I<strongly discouraged> and should never be used lightly.
+
+For dependencies that are required in order to run C<Makefile.PL>,
+see C<CONFIGURE_REQUIRES>.
+
+Module installation tools have ways of resolving unmet dependencies but
+to do that they need a F<Makefile>.  Using C<PREREQ_FATAL> breaks this.
+That's bad.
+
+Assuming you have good test coverage, your tests should fail with
+missing dependencies informing the user more strongly that something
+is wrong.  You can write a F<t/00compile.t> test which will simply
+check that your code compiles and stop "make test" prematurely if it
+doesn't.  See L<Test::More/BAIL_OUT> for more details.
+
+
+=item PREREQ_PM
+
+A hash of modules that are needed to run your module.  The keys are
+the module names ie. Test::More, and the minimum version is the
+value. If the required version number is 0 any version will do.
+The versions given may be a Perl v-string (see L<version>) or a range
+(see L<CPAN::Meta::Requirements>).
+
+This will go into the C<requires> field of your F<META.yml> and the
+C<runtime> of the C<prereqs> field of your F<META.json>.
+
+    PREREQ_PM => {
+        # Require Test::More at least 0.47
+        "Test::More" => "0.47",
+
+        # Require any version of Acme::Buffy
+        "Acme::Buffy" => 0,
+    }
+
+=item PREREQ_PRINT
+
+Bool.  If this parameter is true, the prerequisites will be printed to
+stdout and MakeMaker will exit.  The output format is an evalable hash
+ref.
+
+  $PREREQ_PM = {
+                 'A::B' => Vers1,
+                 'C::D' => Vers2,
+                 ...
+               };
+
+If a distribution defines a minimal required perl version, this is
+added to the output as an additional line of the form:
+
+  $MIN_PERL_VERSION = '5.008001';
+
+If BUILD_REQUIRES is not empty, it will be dumped as $BUILD_REQUIRES hashref.
+
+=item PRINT_PREREQ
+
+RedHatism for C<PREREQ_PRINT>.  The output format is different, though:
+
+    perl(A::B)>=Vers1 perl(C::D)>=Vers2 ...
+
+A minimal required perl version, if present, will look like this:
+
+    perl(perl)>=5.008001
+
+=item SITEPREFIX
+
+Like PERLPREFIX, but only for the site install locations.
+
+Defaults to $Config{siteprefixexp}.  Perls prior to 5.6.0 didn't have
+an explicit siteprefix in the Config.  In those cases
+$Config{installprefix} will be used.
+
+Overridable by PREFIX
+
+=item SIGN
+
+Available in version 6.18 and above.
+
+When true, perform the generation and addition to the MANIFEST of the
+SIGNATURE file in the distdir during 'make distdir', via 'cpansign
+-s'.
+
+Note that you need to install the Module::Signature module to
+perform this operation.
+
+Defaults to false.
+
+=item SKIP
+
+Arrayref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
+Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible
+speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it
+if you really need it.
+
+=item TEST_REQUIRES
+
+Available in version 6.64 and above.
+
+A hash of modules that are needed to test your module but not run or
+build it.
+
+This will go into the C<build_requires> field of your F<META.yml> and the C<test> of the C<prereqs> field of your F<META.json>.
+
+The format is the same as PREREQ_PM.
+
+=item TYPEMAPS
+
+Ref to array of typemap file names.  Use this when the typemaps are
+in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
+not named B<typemap>.  The last typemap in the list takes
+precedence.  A typemap in the current directory has highest
+precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS.  The default system
+typemap has lowest precedence.
+
+=item VENDORPREFIX
+
+Like PERLPREFIX, but only for the vendor install locations.
+
+Defaults to $Config{vendorprefixexp}.
+
+Overridable by PREFIX
+
+=item VERBINST
+
+If true, make install will be verbose
+
+=item VERSION
+
+Your version number for distributing the package.  This defaults to
+0.1.
+
+=item VERSION_FROM
+
+Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
+MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
+routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
+single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
+that contains something like a $VERSION assignment or C<package Name
+VERSION> will be used. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
+
+    # Good
+    package Foo::Bar 1.23;                      # 1.23
+    $VERSION   = '1.00';                        # 1.00
+    *VERSION   = \'1.01';                       # 1.01
+    ($VERSION) = q$Revision$ =~ /(\d+)/g;       # The digits in $Revision$
+    $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';                     # 1.10
+    *FOO::VERSION = \'1.11';                    # 1.11
+
+but these will fail:
+
+    # Bad
+    my $VERSION         = '1.01';
+    local $VERSION      = '1.02';
+    local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
+
+(Putting C<my> or C<local> on the preceding line will work o.k.)
+
+"Version strings" are incompatible and should not be used.
+
+    # Bad
+    $VERSION = 1.2.3;
+    $VERSION = v1.2.3;
+
+L<version> objects are fine.  As of MakeMaker 6.35 version.pm will be
+automatically loaded, but you must declare the dependency on version.pm.
+For compatibility with older MakeMaker you should load on the same line
+as $VERSION is declared.
+
+    # All on one line
+    use version; our $VERSION = qv(1.2.3);
+
+The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to
+Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain
+during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish
+change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile
+contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you
+would have to do something like
+
+    depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
+
+See attribute C<depend> below.
+
+=item VERSION_SYM
+
+A sanitized VERSION with . replaced by _.  For places where . has
+special meaning (some filesystems, RCS labels, etc...)
+
+=item XS
+
+Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this.  e.g.
+
+  {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
+
+The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
+deleted by a make clean.
+
+=item XSBUILD
+
+Available in version 7.12 and above.
+
+Hashref with options controlling the operation of C<XSMULTI>:
+
+  {
+    xs => {
+        all => {
+            # options applying to all .xs files for this distribution
+        },
+        'lib/Class/Name/File' => { # specifically for this file
+            DEFINE => '-Dfunktastic', # defines for only this file
+            INC => "-I$funkyliblocation", # include flags for only this file
+            # OBJECT => 'lib/Class/Name/File$(OBJ_EXT)', # default
+            LDFROM => "lib/Class/Name/File\$(OBJ_EXT) $otherfile\$(OBJ_EXT)", # what's linked
+        },
+    },
+  }
+
+Note C<xs> is the file-extension. More possibilities may arise in the
+future. Note that object names are specified without their XS extension.
+
+C<LDFROM> defaults to the same as C<OBJECT>. C<OBJECT> defaults to,
+for C<XSMULTI>, just the XS filename with the extension replaced with
+the compiler-specific object-file extension.
+
+The distinction between C<OBJECT> and C<LDFROM>: C<OBJECT> is the make
+target, so make will try to build it. However, C<LDFROM> is what will
+actually be linked together to make the shared object or static library
+(SO/SL), so if you override it, make sure it includes what you want to
+make the final SO/SL, almost certainly including the XS basename with
+C<$(OBJ_EXT)> appended.
+
+=item XSMULTI
+
+Available in version 7.12 and above.
+
+When this is set to C<1>, multiple XS files may be placed under F<lib/>
+next to their corresponding C<*.pm> files (this is essential for compiling
+with the correct C<VERSION> values). This feature should be considered
+experimental, and details of it may change.
+
+This feature was inspired by, and small portions of code copied from,
+L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker::BigHelper>. Hopefully this feature will render
+that module mainly obsolete.
+
+=item XSOPT
+
+String of options to pass to xsubpp.  This might include C<-C++> or
+C<-extern>.  Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
+that purpose.
+
+=item XSPROTOARG
+
+May be set to C<-prototypes>, C<-noprototypes> or the empty string.  The
+empty string is equivalent to the xsubpp default, or C<-noprototypes>.
+See the xsubpp documentation for details.  MakeMaker
+defaults to the empty string.
+
+=item XS_VERSION
+
+Your version number for the .xs file of this package.  This defaults
+to the value of the VERSION attribute.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Additional lowercase attributes
+
+can be used to pass parameters to the methods which implement that
+part of the Makefile.  Parameters are specified as a hash ref but are
+passed to the method as a hash.

+
+=item clean
+
+  {FILES => "*.xyz foo"}
+
+=item depend
+
+  {ANY_TARGET => ANY_DEPENDENCY, ...}
+
+(ANY_TARGET must not be given a double-colon rule by MakeMaker.)
+
+=item dist
+
+  {TARFLAGS => 'cvfF', COMPRESS => 'gzip', SUFFIX => '.gz',
+  SHAR => 'shar -m', DIST_CP => 'ln', ZIP => '/bin/zip',
+  ZIPFLAGS => '-rl', DIST_DEFAULT => 'private tardist' }
+
+If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
+needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
+DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
+your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
+'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
+links the rest. Default is 'best'.
+
+=item dynamic_lib
+
+  {ARMAYBE => 'ar', OTHERLDFLAGS => '...', INST_DYNAMIC_DEP => '...'}
+
+=item linkext
+
+  {LINKTYPE => 'static', 'dynamic' or ''}
+
+NB: Extensions that have nothing but *.pm files had to say
+
+  {LINKTYPE => ''}
+
+with Pre-5.0 MakeMakers. Since version 5.00 of MakeMaker such a line
+can be deleted safely. MakeMaker recognizes when there's nothing to
+be linked.
+
+=item macro
+
+  {ANY_MACRO => ANY_VALUE, ...}
+
+=item postamble
+
+Anything put here will be passed to
+L<MY::postamble()|ExtUtils::MM_Any/postamble (o)> if you have one.

+
+Specify the targets for testing.
+
+  {TESTS => 't/*.t'}
+
+C<RECURSIVE_TEST_FILES> can be used to include all directories
+recursively under C<t> that contain C<.t> files. It will be ignored if
+you provide your own C<TESTS> attribute, defaults to false.

+
+=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
+
+If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
+attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
+Each subroutine returns the text it wishes to have written to
+the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
+either say:
+
+        sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
+
+or you can edit the default by saying something like:
+
+        package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
+        sub c_o {
+            my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
+            $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
+            $inherited;
+        }
+
+If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into
+other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient. You'd
+better have a look at L<ExtUtils::Embed> which is a collection of utilities
+for embedding.
+
+If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
+subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
+C<makemaker@perl.org>
+
+For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see
+L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
+
+Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
+Makefile:
+
+    sub MY::postamble {
+        return <<'MAKE_FRAG';
+    $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
+            cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
+
+    MAKE_FRAG
+    }
+
+=head2 The End Of Cargo Cult Programming
+
+WriteMakefile() now does some basic sanity checks on its parameters to
+protect against typos and malformatted values.  This means some things
+which happened to work in the past will now throw warnings and
+possibly produce internal errors.
+
+Some of the most common mistakes:
+
+=over 2
+
+=item C<< MAN3PODS => ' ' >>
+
+This is commonly used to suppress the creation of man pages.  MAN3PODS
+takes a hash ref not a string, but the above worked by accident in old
+versions of MakeMaker.
+
+The correct code is C<< MAN3PODS => { } >>.
+
+=back
+
+
+=head2 Hintsfile support
+
+MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture-specific information from
+Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
+in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
+like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
+name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
+MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
+execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
+which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
+
+The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
+WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
+reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
+override or create an attribute you would say something like
+
+    $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
+
+=head2 Distribution Support
+
+For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
+targets. Most of the support comes from the L<ExtUtils::Manifest> module,
+where additional documentation can be found.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item    make distcheck
+
+reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
+MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See L<ExtUtils::Manifest/fullcheck> for
+details)
+
+=item    make skipcheck
+
+reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
+C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See L<ExtUtils::Manifest/skipcheck> for
+details)
+
+=item    make distclean
+
+does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
+needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure that the
+MANIFEST file is ok.
+
+=item    make veryclean
+
+does a realclean first and then removes backup files such as C<*~>,
+C<*.bak>, C<*.old> and C<*.orig>
+
+=item    make manifest
+
+rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
+L<ExtUtils::Manifest/mkmanifest> for details)
+
+=item    make distdir
+
+Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
+directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
+exists, it will be removed first.
+
+Additionally, it will create META.yml and META.json module meta-data file
+in the distdir and add this to the distdir's MANIFEST.  You can shut this
+behavior off with the NO_META flag.
+
+=item   make disttest
+
+Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
+a make test in that directory.
+
+=item    make tardist
+
+First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
+command, followed by $(TO_UNIX), which defaults to a null command under
+UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
+otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
+deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
+defaults to a null command.
+
+=item    make dist
+
+Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
+
+=item    make uutardist
+
+Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
+
+=item    make shdist
+
+First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
+command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
+deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
+$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.  Note: For shdist to work
+properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
+
+=item    make zipdist
+
+First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
+command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
+zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
+$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
+
+=item    make ci
+
+Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
+
+=back
+
+Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
+reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
+following parameters are recognized:
+
+    CI           ('ci -u')
+    COMPRESS     ('gzip --best')
+    POSTOP       ('@ :')
+    PREOP        ('@ :')
+    TO_UNIX      (depends on the system)
+    RCS_LABEL    ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
+    SHAR         ('shar')
+    SUFFIX       ('.gz')
+    TAR          ('tar')
+    TARFLAGS     ('cvf')
+    ZIP          ('zip')
+    ZIPFLAGS     ('-r')
+
+An example:
+
+    WriteMakefile(
+        ...other options...
+        dist => {
+            COMPRESS => "bzip2",
+            SUFFIX   => ".bz2"
+        }
+    );
+
+
+=head2 Module Meta-Data (META and MYMETA)
+
+Long plaguing users of MakeMaker based modules has been the problem of
+getting basic information about the module out of the sources
+I<without> running the F<Makefile.PL> and doing a bunch of messy
+heuristics on the resulting F<Makefile>.  Over the years, it has become
+standard to keep this information in one or more CPAN Meta files
+distributed with each distribution.
+
+The original format of CPAN Meta files was L<YAML> and the corresponding
+file was called F<META.yml>.  In 2010, version 2 of the L<CPAN::Meta::Spec>
+was released, which mandates JSON format for the metadata in order to
+overcome certain compatibility issues between YAML serializers and to
+avoid breaking older clients unable to handle a new version of the spec.
+The L<CPAN::Meta> library is now standard for accessing old and new-style
+Meta files.
+
+If L<CPAN::Meta> is installed, MakeMaker will automatically generate
+F<META.json> and F<META.yml> files for you and add them to your F<MANIFEST> as
+part of the 'distdir' target (and thus the 'dist' target).  This is intended to
+seamlessly and rapidly populate CPAN with module meta-data.  If you wish to
+shut this feature off, set the C<NO_META> C<WriteMakefile()> flag to true.
+
+At the 2008 QA Hackathon in Oslo, Perl module toolchain maintainers agreed
+to use the CPAN Meta format to communicate post-configuration requirements
+between toolchain components.  These files, F<MYMETA.json> and F<MYMETA.yml>,
+are generated when F<Makefile.PL> generates a F<Makefile> (if L<CPAN::Meta>
+is installed).  Clients like L<CPAN> or L<CPANPLUS> will read these
+files to see what prerequisites must be fulfilled before building or testing
+the distribution.  If you wish to shut this feature off, set the C<NO_MYMETA>
+C<WriteMakefile()> flag to true.
+
+=head2 Disabling an extension
+
+If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
+to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
+can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
+"usual" build targets.  To do so, use
+
+    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(WriteEmptyMakefile);
+    WriteEmptyMakefile();
+
+instead of WriteMakefile().
+
+This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
+OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
+in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
+dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
+different means on the current architecture).
+
+=head2 Other Handy Functions
+
+=over 4
+
+=item prompt
+
+    my $value = prompt($message);
+    my $value = prompt($message, $default);
+
+The C<prompt()> function provides an easy way to request user input
+used to write a makefile.  It displays the $message as a prompt for
+input.  If a $default is provided it will be used as a default.  The
+function returns the $value selected by the user.
+
+If C<prompt()> detects that it is not running interactively and there
+is nothing on STDIN or if the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT environment variable
+is set to true, the $default will be used without prompting.  This
+prevents automated processes from blocking on user input.
+
+If no $default is provided an empty string will be used instead.
+
+=item os_unsupported
+
+  os_unsupported();
+  os_unsupported if $^O eq 'MSWin32';
+
+The C<os_unsupported()> function provides a way to correctly exit your
+C<Makefile.PL> before calling C<WriteMakefile>. It is essentially a
+C<die> with the message "OS unsupported".
+
+This is supported since 7.26
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Supported versions of Perl
+
+Please note that while this module works on Perl 5.6, it is no longer
+being routinely tested on 5.6 - the earliest Perl version being routinely
+tested, and expressly supported, is 5.8.1. However, patches to repair
+any breakage on 5.6 are still being accepted.
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+=over 4
+
+=item PERL_MM_OPT
+
+Command line options used by C<MakeMaker-E<gt>new()>, and thus by
+C<WriteMakefile()>.  The string is split as the shell would, and the result
+is processed before any actual command line arguments are processed.
+
+  PERL_MM_OPT='CCFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/foo/bar/lib" LIBS="-lwibble -lwobble"'
+
+=item PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT
+
+If set to a true value then MakeMaker's prompt function will
+always return the default without waiting for user input.
+
+=item PERL_CORE
+
+Same as the PERL_CORE parameter.  The parameter overrides this.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<Module::Build> is a pure-Perl alternative to MakeMaker which does
+not rely on make or any other external utility.  It may be easier to
+extend to suit your needs.
+
+L<Module::Build::Tiny> is a minimal pure-Perl alternative to MakeMaker
+that follows the Build.PL protocol of Module::Build but without its
+complexity and cruft, implementing only the installation of the module
+and leaving authoring to L<mbtiny> or other authoring tools.
+
+L<Module::Install> is a (now discouraged) wrapper around MakeMaker which
+adds features not normally available.
+
+L<ExtUtils::ModuleMaker> and L<Module::Starter> are both modules to
+help you setup your distribution.
+
+L<CPAN::Meta> and L<CPAN::Meta::Spec> explain CPAN Meta files in detail.
+
+L<File::ShareDir::Install> makes it easy to install static, sometimes
+also referred to as 'shared' files. L<File::ShareDir> helps accessing
+the shared files after installation. L<Test::File::ShareDir> helps when
+writing tests to use the shared files both before and after installation.
+
+L<Dist::Zilla> is an authoring tool which allows great customization and
+extensibility of the author experience, relying on the existing install
+tools like ExtUtils::MakeMaker only for installation.
+
+L<Dist::Milla> is a Dist::Zilla bundle that greatly simplifies common
+usage.
+
+L<Minilla> is a minimal authoring tool that does the same things as
+Dist::Milla without the overhead of Dist::Zilla.

+
+=head2 Module Installation
+
+=over 4
+
+=item How do I install a module into my home directory?
+
+If you're not the Perl administrator you probably don't have
+permission to install a module to its default location. Ways of handling
+this with a B<lot> less manual effort on your part are L<perlbrew>
+and L<local::lib>.
+
+Otherwise, you can install it for your own use into your home directory
+like so:
+
+    # Non-unix folks, replace ~ with /path/to/your/home/dir
+    perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~
+
+This will put modules into F<~/lib/perl5>, man pages into F<~/man> and
+programs into F<~/bin>.
+
+To ensure your Perl programs can see these newly installed modules,
+set your C<PERL5LIB> environment variable to F<~/lib/perl5> or tell
+each of your programs to look in that directory with the following:
+
+    use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5";
+
+or if $ENV{HOME} isn't set and you don't want to set it for some
+reason, do it the long way.
+
+    use lib "/path/to/your/home/dir/lib/perl5";
+
+=item How do I get MakeMaker and Module::Build to install to the same place?
+
+Module::Build, as of 0.28, supports two ways to install to the same
+location as MakeMaker.
+
+We highly recommend the install_base method, its the simplest and most
+closely approximates the expected behavior of an installation prefix.
+
+1) Use INSTALL_BASE / C<--install_base>
+
+MakeMaker (as of 6.31) and Module::Build (as of 0.28) both can install
+to the same locations using the "install_base" concept.  See
+L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker/INSTALL_BASE> for details.  To get MM and MB to
+install to the same location simply set INSTALL_BASE in MM and
+C<--install_base> in MB to the same location.
+
+    perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=/whatever
+    perl Build.PL    --install_base /whatever
+
+This works most like other language's behavior when you specify a
+prefix.  We recommend this method.
+
+2) Use PREFIX / C<--prefix>
+
+Module::Build 0.28 added support for C<--prefix> which works like
+MakeMaker's PREFIX.
+
+    perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/whatever
+    perl Build.PL    --prefix /whatever
+
+We highly discourage this method.  It should only be used if you know
+what you're doing and specifically need the PREFIX behavior.  The
+PREFIX algorithm is complicated and focused on matching the system
+installation.
+
+=item How do I keep from installing man pages?
+
+Recent versions of MakeMaker will only install man pages on Unix-like
+operating systems by default. To generate manpages on non-Unix operating
+systems, make the "manifypods" target.
+
+For an individual module:
+
+        perl Makefile.PL INSTALLMAN1DIR=none INSTALLMAN3DIR=none
+
+If you want to suppress man page installation for all modules you have
+to reconfigure Perl and tell it 'none' when it asks where to install
+man pages.
+
+
+=item How do I use a module without installing it?
+
+Two ways.  One is to build the module normally...
+
+        perl Makefile.PL
+        make
+        make test
+
+...and then use L<blib> to point Perl at the built but uninstalled module:
+
+	perl -Mblib script.pl
+	perl -Mblib -e '...'
+
+The other is to install the module in a temporary location.
+
+        perl Makefile.PL INSTALL_BASE=~/tmp
+        make
+        make test
+        make install
+
+And then set PERL5LIB to F<~/tmp/lib/perl5>.  This works well when you
+have multiple modules to work with.  It also ensures that the module
+goes through its full installation process which may modify it.
+Again, L<local::lib> may assist you here.
+
+=item How can I organize tests into subdirectories and have them run?
+
+Let's take the following test directory structure:
+
+    t/foo/sometest.t
+    t/bar/othertest.t
+    t/bar/baz/anothertest.t
+
+Now, inside of the C<WriteMakefile()> function in your F<Makefile.PL>, specify
+where your tests are located with the C<test> directive:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/*.t t/*/*.t t/*/*/*.t'}
+
+The first entry in the string will run all tests in the top-level F<t/> 
+directory. The second will run all test files located in any subdirectory under
+F<t/>. The third, runs all test files within any subdirectory within any other
+subdirectory located under F<t/>.
+
+Note that you do not have to use wildcards. You can specify explicitly which
+subdirectories to run tests in:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/*.t t/foo/*.t t/bar/baz/*.t'}
+
+=item PREFIX vs INSTALL_BASE from Module::Build::Cookbook
+
+The behavior of PREFIX is complicated and depends closely on how your
+Perl is configured. The resulting installation locations will vary
+from machine to machine and even different installations of Perl on the
+same machine.  Because of this, its difficult to document where prefix
+will place your modules.
+
+In contrast, INSTALL_BASE has predictable, easy to explain installation
+locations.  Now that Module::Build and MakeMaker both have INSTALL_BASE
+there is little reason to use PREFIX other than to preserve your existing
+installation locations. If you are starting a fresh Perl installation we
+encourage you to use INSTALL_BASE. If you have an existing installation
+installed via PREFIX, consider moving it to an installation structure
+matching INSTALL_BASE and using that instead.
+
+=item Generating *.pm files with substitutions eg of $VERSION
+
+If you want to configure your module files for local conditions, or to
+automatically insert a version number, you can use EUMM's C<PL_FILES>
+capability, where it will automatically run each F<*.PL> it finds to
+generate its basename. For instance:
+
+    # Makefile.PL:
+    require 'common.pl';
+    my $version = get_version();
+    my @pms = qw(Foo.pm);
+    WriteMakefile(
+      NAME => 'Foo',
+      VERSION => $version,
+      PM => { map { ($_ => "\$(INST_LIB)/$_") } @pms },
+      clean => { FILES => join ' ', @pms },
+    );
+
+    # common.pl:
+    sub get_version { '0.04' }
+    sub process { my $v = get_version(); s/__VERSION__/$v/g; }
+    1;
+
+    # Foo.pm.PL:
+    require 'common.pl';
+    $_ = join '', <DATA>;
+    process();
+    my $file = shift;
+    open my $fh, '>', $file or die "$file: $!";
+    print $fh $_;
+    __DATA__
+    package Foo;
+    our $VERSION = '__VERSION__';
+    1;
+
+You may notice that C<PL_FILES> is not specified above, since the default
+of mapping each .PL file to its basename works well.
+
+If the generated module were architecture-specific, you could replace
+C<$(INST_LIB)> above with C<$(INST_ARCHLIB)>, although if you locate
+modules under F<lib>, that would involve ensuring any C<lib/> in front
+of the module location were removed.

+=head2 Common errors and problems
+
+=over 4
+
+=item "No rule to make target `/usr/lib/perl5/CORE/config.h', needed by `Makefile'"
+
+Just what it says, you're missing that file.  MakeMaker uses it to
+determine if perl has been rebuilt since the Makefile was made.  It's
+a bit of a bug that it halts installation.
+
+Some operating systems don't ship the CORE directory with their base
+perl install.  To solve the problem, you likely need to install a perl
+development package such as perl-devel (CentOS, Fedora and other
+Redhat systems) or perl (Ubuntu and other Debian systems).
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Philosophy and History
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Why not just use <insert other build config tool here>?
+
+Why did MakeMaker reinvent the build configuration wheel?  Why not
+just use autoconf or automake or ppm or Ant or ...
+
+There are many reasons, but the major one is cross-platform
+compatibility.
+
+Perl is one of the most ported pieces of software ever.  It works on
+operating systems I've never even heard of (see perlport for details).
+It needs a build tool that can work on all those platforms and with
+any wacky C compilers and linkers they might have.
+
+No such build tool exists.  Even make itself has wildly different
+dialects.  So we have to build our own.
+
+
+=item What is Module::Build and how does it relate to MakeMaker?
+
+Module::Build is a project by Ken Williams to supplant MakeMaker.
+Its primary advantages are:
+
+=over 8
+
+=item * pure perl.  no make, no shell commands
+
+=item * easier to customize
+
+=item * cleaner internals
+
+=item * less cruft
+
+=back
+
+Module::Build was long the official heir apparent to MakeMaker.  The
+rate of both its development and adoption has slowed in recent years,
+though, and it is unclear what the future holds for it.  That said,
+Module::Build set the stage for I<something> to become the heir to
+MakeMaker.  MakeMaker's maintainers have long said that it is a dead
+end and should be kept functioning, while being cautious about extending
+with new features.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Module Writing
+
+=over 4
+
+=item How do I keep my $VERSION up to date without resetting it manually?
+
+Often you want to manually set the $VERSION in the main module
+distribution because this is the version that everybody sees on CPAN
+and maybe you want to customize it a bit.  But for all the other
+modules in your dist, $VERSION is really just bookkeeping and all that's
+important is it goes up every time the module is changed.  Doing this
+by hand is a pain and you often forget.
+
+Probably the easiest way to do this is using F<perl-reversion> in
+L<Perl::Version>:
+
+  perl-reversion -bump
+
+If your version control system supports revision numbers (git doesn't
+easily), the simplest way to do it automatically is to use its revision
+number (you are using version control, right?).
+
+In CVS, RCS and SVN you use $Revision$ (see the documentation of your
+version control system for details).  Every time the file is checked
+in the $Revision$ will be updated, updating your $VERSION.
+
+SVN uses a simple integer for $Revision$ so you can adapt it for your
+$VERSION like so:
+
+    ($VERSION) = q$Revision$ =~ /(\d+)/;
+
+In CVS and RCS version 1.9 is followed by 1.10.  Since CPAN compares
+version numbers numerically we use a sprintf() to convert 1.9 to 1.009
+and 1.10 to 1.010 which compare properly.
+
+    $VERSION = sprintf "%d.%03d", q$Revision$ =~ /(\d+)\.(\d+)/g;
+
+If branches are involved (ie. $Revision: 1.5.3.4$) it's a little more
+complicated.
+
+    # must be all on one line or MakeMaker will get confused.
+    $VERSION = do { my @r = (q$Revision$ =~ /\d+/g); sprintf "%d."."%03d" x $#r, @r };
+
+In SVN, $Revision$ should be the same for every file in the project so
+they would all have the same $VERSION.  CVS and RCS have a different
+$Revision$ per file so each file will have a different $VERSION.
+Distributed version control systems, such as SVK, may have a different
+$Revision$ based on who checks out the file, leading to a different $VERSION
+on each machine!  Finally, some distributed version control systems, such
+as darcs, have no concept of revision number at all.
+
+
+=item What's this F<META.yml> thing and how did it get in my F<MANIFEST>?!
+
+F<META.yml> is a module meta-data file pioneered by Module::Build and
+automatically generated as part of the 'distdir' target (and thus
+'dist').  See L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker/"Module Meta-Data">.
+
+To shut off its generation, pass the C<NO_META> flag to C<WriteMakefile()>.
+
+
+=item How do I delete everything not in my F<MANIFEST>?
+
+Some folks are surprised that C<make distclean> does not delete
+everything not listed in their MANIFEST (thus making a clean
+distribution) but only tells them what they need to delete.  This is
+done because it is considered too dangerous.  While developing your
+module you might write a new file, not add it to the MANIFEST, then
+run a C<distclean> and be sad because your new work was deleted.
+
+If you really want to do this, you can use
+C<ExtUtils::Manifest::manifind()> to read the MANIFEST and File::Find
+to delete the files.  But you have to be careful.  Here's a script to
+do that.  Use at your own risk.  Have fun blowing holes in your foot.
+
+    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
+
+    use strict;
+
+    use File::Spec;
+    use File::Find;
+    use ExtUtils::Manifest qw(maniread);
+
+    my %manifest = map  {( $_ => 1 )}
+                   grep { File::Spec->canonpath($_) }
+                        keys %{ maniread() };
+
+    if( !keys %manifest ) {
+        print "No files found in MANIFEST.  Stopping.\n";
+        exit;
+    }
+
+    find({
+          wanted   => sub {
+              my $path = File::Spec->canonpath($_);
+
+              return unless -f $path;
+              return if exists $manifest{ $path };
+
+              print "unlink $path\n";
+              unlink $path;
+          },
+          no_chdir => 1
+         },
+         "."
+    );

+=item Which tar should I use on Windows?

+=head2 XS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item How do I prevent "object version X.XX does not match bootstrap parameter Y.YY" errors?
+
+XS code is very sensitive to the module version number and will
+complain if the version number in your Perl module doesn't match.  If
+you change your module's version # without rerunning Makefile.PL the old
+version number will remain in the Makefile, causing the XS code to be built
+with the wrong number.
+
+To avoid this, you can force the Makefile to be rebuilt whenever you
+change the module containing the version number by adding this to your
+WriteMakefile() arguments.
+
+    depend => { '$(FIRST_MAKEFILE)' => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
+
+
+=item How do I make two or more XS files coexist in the same directory?
+
+Sometimes you need to have two and more XS files in the same package.
+There are three ways: C<XSMULTI>, separate directories, and bootstrapping
+one XS from another.
+
+=over 8
+
+=item XSMULTI
+
+Structure your modules so they are all located under F<lib>, such that
+C<Foo::Bar> is in F<lib/Foo/Bar.pm> and F<lib/Foo/Bar.xs>, etc. Have your
+top-level C<WriteMakefile> set the variable C<XSMULTI> to a true value.
+
+Er, that's it.
+
+=item Separate directories
+
+Put each XS files into separate directories, each with their own
+F<Makefile.PL>. Make sure each of those F<Makefile.PL>s has the correct
+C<CFLAGS>, C<INC>, C<LIBS> etc. You will need to make sure the top-level
+F<Makefile.PL> refers to each of these using C<DIR>.
+
+=item Bootstrapping
+
+Let's assume that we have a package C<Cool::Foo>, which includes
+C<Cool::Foo> and C<Cool::Bar> modules each having a separate XS
+file. First we use the following I<Makefile.PL>:
+
+  use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
+
+  WriteMakefile(
+      NAME		=> 'Cool::Foo',
+      VERSION_FROM	=> 'Foo.pm',
+      OBJECT              => q/$(O_FILES)/,
+      # ... other attrs ...
+  );
+
+Notice the C<OBJECT> attribute. MakeMaker generates the following
+variables in I<Makefile>:
+
+  # Handy lists of source code files:
+  XS_FILES= Bar.xs \
+  	Foo.xs
+  C_FILES = Bar.c \
+  	Foo.c
+  O_FILES = Bar.o \
+  	Foo.o
+
+Therefore we can use the C<O_FILES> variable to tell MakeMaker to use
+these objects into the shared library.
+
+That's pretty much it. Now write I<Foo.pm> and I<Foo.xs>, I<Bar.pm>
+and I<Bar.xs>, where I<Foo.pm> bootstraps the shared library and
+I<Bar.pm> simply loading I<Foo.pm>.
+
+The only issue left is to how to bootstrap I<Bar.xs>. This is done
+from I<Foo.xs>:
+
+  MODULE = Cool::Foo PACKAGE = Cool::Foo
+
+  BOOT:
+  # boot the second XS file
+  boot_Cool__Bar(aTHX_ cv);
+
+If you have more than two files, this is the place where you should
+boot extra XS files from.
+
+The following four files sum up all the details discussed so far.
+
+  Foo.pm:
+  -------
+  package Cool::Foo;
+
+  require DynaLoader;
+
+  our @ISA = qw(DynaLoader);
+  our $VERSION = '0.01';
+  bootstrap Cool::Foo $VERSION;
+
+  1;
+
+  Bar.pm:
+  -------
+  package Cool::Bar;
+
+  use Cool::Foo; # bootstraps Bar.xs
+
+  1;
+
+  Foo.xs:
+  -------
+  #include "EXTERN.h"
+  #include "perl.h"
+  #include "XSUB.h"
+
+  MODULE = Cool::Foo  PACKAGE = Cool::Foo
+
+  BOOT:
+  # boot the second XS file
+  boot_Cool__Bar(aTHX_ cv);
+
+  MODULE = Cool::Foo  PACKAGE = Cool::Foo  PREFIX = cool_foo_
+
+  void
+  cool_foo_perl_rules()
+
+      CODE:
+      fprintf(stderr, "Cool::Foo says: Perl Rules\n");
+
+  Bar.xs:
+  -------
+  #include "EXTERN.h"
+  #include "perl.h"
+  #include "XSUB.h"
+
+  MODULE = Cool::Bar  PACKAGE = Cool::Bar PREFIX = cool_bar_
+
+  void
+  cool_bar_perl_rules()
+
+      CODE:
+      fprintf(stderr, "Cool::Bar says: Perl Rules\n");
+
+And of course a very basic test:
+
+  t/cool.t:
+  --------
+  use Test::More tests => 1;
+  use Cool::Foo;
+  use Cool::Bar;
+  Cool::Foo::perl_rules();
+  Cool::Bar::perl_rules();
+  ok 1;

+An alternative way to achieve this can be seen in L<Gtk2::CodeGen>
+and L<Glib::CodeGen>.

+L<http://archive.develooper.com/makemaker@perl.org/msg00134.html>
+for some history.
+
+NOTE: When L<ExtUtils::MM> is loaded it chooses a superclass for MM from
+amongst the ExtUtils::MM_* modules based on the current operating
+system.
+
+NOTE: ExtUtils::MM_{Current OS} represents one of the ExtUtils::MM_*
+modules except L<ExtUtils::MM_Any> chosen based on your operating system.
+
+NOTE: The main object used by MakeMaker is a PACK### object, *not*
+L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>.  It is, effectively, a subclass of L<MY|ExtUtils::MY>,
+L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>, L<ExtUtils::Liblist> and ExtUtils::MM_{Current OS}
+
+NOTE: The methods in L<MY|ExtUtils::MY> are simply copied into PACK### rather
+than MY being a superclass of PACK###.  I don't remember the rationale.
+
+NOTE: L<ExtUtils::Liblist> should be removed from the inheritance hiearchy
+and simply be called as functions.

+NOTE: Each direct L<MM_Unix|ExtUtils::MM_Unix> subclass is also an
+L<MM_Any|ExtUtils::MM_Any> subclass.  This
+is a temporary hack because MM_Unix overrides some MM_Any methods with

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+In many applications it's wise to let Perl use Unicode for the strings it
+processes.  Most of the interfaces Perl has to the outside world are still byte
+based.  Programs therefore need to decode byte strings that enter the program
+from the outside and encode them again on the way out.
+
+The POSIX locale system is used to specify both the language conventions
+requested by the user and the preferred character set to consume and
+output.  The C<Encode::Locale> module looks up the charset and encoding (called
+a CODESET in the locale jargon) and arranges for the L<Encode> module to know
+this encoding under the name "locale".  It means bytes obtained from the
+environment can be converted to Unicode strings by calling C<<
+Encode::encode(locale => $bytes) >> and converted back again with C<<
+Encode::decode(locale => $string) >>.
+
+Where file systems interfaces pass file names in and out of the program we also
+need care.  The trend is for operating systems to use a fixed file encoding
+that don't actually depend on the locale; and this module determines the most
+appropriate encoding for file names. The L<Encode> module will know this
+encoding under the name "locale_fs".  For traditional Unix systems this will
+be an alias to the same encoding as "locale".
+
+For programs running in a terminal window (called a "Console" on some systems)
+the "locale" encoding is usually a good choice for what to expect as input and
+output.  Some systems allows us to query the encoding set for the terminal and
+C<Encode::Locale> will do that if available and make these encodings known
+under the C<Encode> aliases "console_in" and "console_out".  For systems where
+we can't determine the terminal encoding these will be aliased as the same
+encoding as "locale".  The advice is to use "console_in" for input known to
+come from the terminal and "console_out" for output to the terminal.
+
+In addition to arranging for various Encode aliases the following functions and
+variables are provided:
+
+=over
+
+=item decode_argv( )
+
+=item decode_argv( Encode::FB_CROAK )
+
+This will decode the command line arguments to perl (the C<@ARGV> array) in-place.
+
+The function will by default replace characters that can't be decoded by
+"\x{FFFD}", the Unicode replacement character.
+
+Any argument provided is passed as CHECK to underlying Encode::decode() call.
+Pass the value C<Encode::FB_CROAK> to have the decoding croak if not all the
+command line arguments can be decoded.  See L<Encode/"Handling Malformed Data">
+for details on other options for CHECK.
+
+=item env( $uni_key )
+
+=item env( $uni_key => $uni_value )
+
+Interface to get/set environment variables.  Returns the current value as a
+Unicode string. The $uni_key and $uni_value arguments are expected to be
+Unicode strings as well.  Passing C<undef> as $uni_value deletes the
+environment variable named $uni_key.
+
+The returned value will have the characters that can't be decoded replaced by
+"\x{FFFD}", the Unicode replacement character.
+
+There is no interface to request alternative CHECK behavior as for
+decode_argv().  If you need that you need to call encode/decode yourself.
+For example:
+
+    my $key = Encode::encode(locale => $uni_key, Encode::FB_CROAK);
+    my $uni_value = Encode::decode(locale => $ENV{$key}, Encode::FB_CROAK);
+
+=item reinit( )
+
+=item reinit( $encoding )
+
+Reinitialize the encodings from the locale.  You want to call this function if
+you changed anything in the environment that might influence the locale.
+
+This function will croak if the determined encoding isn't recognized by
+the Encode module.
+
+With argument force $ENCODING_... variables to set to the given value.
+
+=item $ENCODING_LOCALE
+
+The encoding name determined to be suitable for the current locale.
+L<Encode> know this encoding as "locale".
+
+=item $ENCODING_LOCALE_FS
+
+The encoding name determined to be suitable for file system interfaces
+involving file names.
+L<Encode> know this encoding as "locale_fs".
+
+=item $ENCODING_CONSOLE_IN
+
+=item $ENCODING_CONSOLE_OUT
+
+The encodings to be used for reading and writing output to the a console.
+L<Encode> know these encodings as "console_in" and "console_out".
+
+=back
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+This table summarizes the mapping of the encodings set up
+by the C<Encode::Locale> module:
+
+  Encode      |         |              |
+  Alias       | Windows | Mac OS X     | POSIX
+  ------------+---------+--------------+------------
+  locale      | ANSI    | nl_langinfo  | nl_langinfo
+  locale_fs   | ANSI    | UTF-8        | nl_langinfo
+  console_in  | OEM     | nl_langinfo  | nl_langinfo
+  console_out | OEM     | nl_langinfo  | nl_langinfo
+
+=head2 Windows
+
+Windows has basically 2 sets of APIs.  A wide API (based on passing UTF-16
+strings) and a byte based API based a character set called ANSI.  The
+regular Perl interfaces to the OS currently only uses the ANSI APIs.
+Unfortunately ANSI is not a single character set.
+
+The encoding that corresponds to ANSI varies between different editions of
+Windows.  For many western editions of Windows ANSI corresponds to CP-1252
+which is a character set similar to ISO-8859-1.  Conceptually the ANSI
+character set is a similar concept to the POSIX locale CODESET so this module
+figures out what the ANSI code page is and make this available as
+$ENCODING_LOCALE and the "locale" Encoding alias.
+
+Windows systems also operate with another byte based character set.
+It's called the OEM code page.  This is the encoding that the Console
+takes as input and output.  It's common for the OEM code page to
+differ from the ANSI code page.
+
+=head2 Mac OS X
+
+On Mac OS X the file system encoding is always UTF-8 while the locale
+can otherwise be set up as normal for POSIX systems.
+
+File names on Mac OS X will at the OS-level be converted to
+NFD-form.  A file created by passing a NFC-filename will come
+in NFD-form from readdir().  See L<Unicode::Normalize> for details
+of NFD/NFC.
+
+Actually, Apple does not follow the Unicode NFD standard since not all
+character ranges are decomposed.  The claim is that this avoids problems with
+round trip conversions from old Mac text encodings.  See L<Encode::UTF8Mac> for
+details.
+
+=head2 POSIX (Linux and other Unixes)
+
+File systems might vary in what encoding is to be used for
+filenames.  Since this module has no way to actually figure out
+what the is correct it goes with the best guess which is to
+assume filenames are encoding according to the current locale.
+Users are advised to always specify UTF-8 as the locale charset.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial - Writing a module with MakeMaker
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
+
+    WriteMakefile(
+        NAME            => 'Your::Module',
+        VERSION_FROM    => 'lib/Your/Module.pm'
+    );
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is a short tutorial on writing a simple module with MakeMaker.
+It's really not that hard.
+
+
+=head2 The Mantra
+
+MakeMaker modules are installed using this simple mantra
+
+        perl Makefile.PL
+        make
+        make test
+        make install
+
+There are lots more commands and options, but the above will do it.
+
+
+=head2 The Layout
+
+The basic files in a module look something like this.
+
+        Makefile.PL
+        MANIFEST
+        lib/Your/Module.pm
+
+That's all that's strictly necessary.  There's additional files you might
+want:
+
+        lib/Your/Other/Module.pm
+        t/some_test.t
+        t/some_other_test.t
+        Changes
+        README
+        INSTALL
+        MANIFEST.SKIP
+        bin/some_program
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Makefile.PL
+
+When you run Makefile.PL, it makes a Makefile.  That's the whole point of
+MakeMaker.  The Makefile.PL is a simple program which loads
+ExtUtils::MakeMaker and runs the WriteMakefile() function to generate a
+Makefile.
+
+Here's an example of what you need for a simple module:
+
+    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
+
+    WriteMakefile(
+        NAME            => 'Your::Module',
+        VERSION_FROM    => 'lib/Your/Module.pm'
+    );
+
+NAME is the top-level namespace of your module.  VERSION_FROM is the file
+which contains the $VERSION variable for the entire distribution.  Typically
+this is the same as your top-level module.
+
+
+=item MANIFEST
+
+A simple listing of all the files in your distribution.
+
+        Makefile.PL
+        MANIFEST
+        lib/Your/Module.pm
+
+File paths in a MANIFEST always use Unix conventions (ie. /) even if you're
+not on Unix.
+
+You can write this by hand or generate it with 'make manifest'.
+
+See L<ExtUtils::Manifest> for more details.
+
+
+=item lib/
+
+This is the directory where the .pm and .pod files you wish to have
+installed go.  They are laid out according to namespace.  So Foo::Bar
+is F<lib/Foo/Bar.pm>.
+
+
+=item t/
+
+Tests for your modules go here.  Each test filename ends with a .t.
+So F<t/foo.t>  'make test' will run these tests.
+
+Typically, the F<t/> test directory is flat, with all test files located
+directly within it. However, you can nest tests within subdirectories, for
+example:
+
+    t/foo/subdir_test.t
+
+To do this, you need to inform C<WriteMakefile()> in your I<Makefile.PL> file
+in the following fashion:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/*.t t/*/*.t'}
+
+That will run all tests in F<t/>, as well as all tests in all subdirectories
+that reside under F<t/>. You can nest as deeply as makes sense for your project. 
+Simply add another entry in the test location string. For example, to test:
+
+    t/foo/bar/subdir_test.t
+
+You would use the following C<test> directive:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/*.t t/*/*/*.t'}
+
+Note that in the above example, tests in the first subdirectory will not be
+run. To run all tests in the intermediary subdirectory preceding the one
+the test files are in, you need to explicitly note it:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/*.t t/*/*.t t/*/*/*.t'}
+
+You don't need to specify wildcards if you only want to test within specific
+subdirectories. The following example will only run tests in F<t/foo>:
+
+    test => {TESTS => 't/foo/*.t'}
+
+Tests are run from the top level of your distribution.  So inside a test
+you would refer to ./lib to enter the lib directory, for example.
+
+
+=item Changes
+
+A log of changes you've made to this module.  The layout is free-form.
+Here's an example:
+
+    1.01 Fri Apr 11 00:21:25 PDT 2003
+        - thing() does some stuff now
+        - fixed the wiggy bug in withit()
+
+    1.00 Mon Apr  7 00:57:15 PDT 2003
+        - "Rain of Frogs" now supported
+
+
+=item README
+
+A short description of your module, what it does, why someone would use it
+and its limitations.  CPAN automatically pulls your README file out of
+the archive and makes it available to CPAN users, it is the first thing
+they will read to decide if your module is right for them.
+
+
+=item INSTALL
+
+Instructions on how to install your module along with any dependencies.
+Suggested information to include here:
+
+    any extra modules required for use
+    the minimum version of Perl required
+    if only works on certain operating systems
+
+
+=item MANIFEST.SKIP
+
+A file full of regular expressions to exclude when using 'make
+manifest' to generate the MANIFEST.  These regular expressions
+are checked against each file path found in the distribution (so
+you're matching against "t/foo.t" not "foo.t").
+
+Here's a sample:
+
+    ~$          # ignore emacs and vim backup files
+    .bak$       # ignore manual backups
+    \#          # ignore CVS old revision files and emacs temp files
+
+Since # can be used for comments, # must be escaped.
+
+MakeMaker comes with a default MANIFEST.SKIP to avoid things like
+version control directories and backup files.  Specifying your own
+will override this default.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap - make a bootstrap file for use by DynaLoader
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  Mkbootstrap
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Mkbootstrap typically gets called from an extension Makefile.
+
+There is no C<*.bs> file supplied with the extension. Instead, there may
+be a C<*_BS> file which has code for the special cases, like posix for
+berkeley db on the NeXT.
+
+This file will get parsed, and produce a maybe empty
+C<@DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using> array for the current architecture.
+That will be extended by $BSLOADLIBS, which was computed by
+ExtUtils::Liblist::ext(). If this array still is empty, we do nothing,
+else we write a .bs file with an C<@DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using>
+array.
+
+The C<*_BS> file can put some code into the generated C<*.bs> file by
+placing it in C<$bscode>. This is a handy 'escape' mechanism that may
+prove useful in complex situations.
+
+If @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using contains C<-L*> or C<-l*> entries then
+Mkbootstrap will automatically add a dl_findfile() call to the
+generated C<*.bs> file.

+=head1 NAME
+
+ExtUtils::Mksymlists - write linker options files for dynamic extension
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use ExtUtils::Mksymlists;
+    Mksymlists(  NAME     => $name ,
+                 DL_VARS  => [ $var1, $var2, $var3 ],
+                 DL_FUNCS => { $pkg1 => [ $func1, $func2 ],
+                               $pkg2 => [ $func3 ] );
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<ExtUtils::Mksymlists> produces files used by the linker under some OSs
+during the creation of shared libraries for dynamic extensions.  It is
+normally called from a MakeMaker-generated Makefile when the extension
+is built.  The linker option file is generated by calling the function
+C<Mksymlists>, which is exported by default from C<ExtUtils::Mksymlists>.
+It takes one argument, a list of key-value pairs, in which the following
+keys are recognized:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item DLBASE
+
+This item specifies the name by which the linker knows the
+extension, which may be different from the name of the
+extension itself (for instance, some linkers add an '_' to the
+name of the extension).  If it is not specified, it is derived
+from the NAME attribute.  It is presently used only by OS2 and Win32.
+
+=item DL_FUNCS
+
+This is identical to the DL_FUNCS attribute available via MakeMaker,
+from which it is usually taken.  Its value is a reference to an
+associative array, in which each key is the name of a package, and
+each value is an a reference to an array of function names which
+should be exported by the extension.  For instance, one might say
+C<DL_FUNCS =E<gt> { Homer::Iliad =E<gt> [ qw(trojans greeks) ],
+Homer::Odyssey =E<gt> [ qw(travellers family suitors) ] }>.  The
+function names should be identical to those in the XSUB code;
+C<Mksymlists> will alter the names written to the linker option
+file to match the changes made by F<xsubpp>.  In addition, if
+none of the functions in a list begin with the string B<boot_>,
+C<Mksymlists> will add a bootstrap function for that package,
+just as xsubpp does.  (If a B<boot_E<lt>pkgE<gt>> function is
+present in the list, it is passed through unchanged.)  If
+DL_FUNCS is not specified, it defaults to the bootstrap
+function for the extension specified in NAME.
+
+=item DL_VARS
+
+This is identical to the DL_VARS attribute available via MakeMaker,
+and, like DL_FUNCS, it is usually specified via MakeMaker.  Its
+value is a reference to an array of variable names which should
+be exported by the extension.
+
+=item FILE
+
+This key can be used to specify the name of the linker option file
+(minus the OS-specific extension), if for some reason you do not
+want to use the default value, which is the last word of the NAME
+attribute (I<e.g.> for C<Tk::Canvas>, FILE defaults to C<Canvas>).
+
+=item FUNCLIST
+
+This provides an alternate means to specify function names to be
+exported from the extension.  Its value is a reference to an
+array of function names to be exported by the extension.  These
+names are passed through unaltered to the linker options file.
+Specifying a value for the FUNCLIST attribute suppresses automatic
+generation of the bootstrap function for the package. To still create
+the bootstrap name you have to specify the package name in the
+DL_FUNCS hash:
+
+    Mksymlists(  NAME     => $name ,
+		 FUNCLIST => [ $func1, $func2 ],
+                 DL_FUNCS => { $pkg => [] } );
+
+
+=item IMPORTS
+
+This attribute is used to specify names to be imported into the
+extension. It is currently only used by OS/2 and Win32.
+
+=item NAME
+
+This gives the name of the extension (I<e.g.> C<Tk::Canvas>) for which
+the linker option file will be produced.
+
+=back
+
+When calling C<Mksymlists>, one should always specify the NAME
+attribute.  In most cases, this is all that's necessary.  In
+the case of unusual extensions, however, the other attributes
+can be used to provide additional information to the linker.

+
+ExtUtils::Packlist - manage .packlist files
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+   use ExtUtils::Packlist;
+   my ($pl) = ExtUtils::Packlist->new('.packlist');
+   $pl->read('/an/old/.packlist');
+   my @missing_files = $pl->validate();
+   $pl->write('/a/new/.packlist');
+
+   $pl->{'/some/file/name'}++;
+      or
+   $pl->{'/some/other/file/name'} = { type => 'file',
+                                      from => '/some/file' };
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ExtUtils::Packlist provides a standard way to manage .packlist files.
+Functions are provided to read and write .packlist files.  The original
+.packlist format is a simple list of absolute pathnames, one per line.  In
+addition, this package supports an extended format, where as well as a filename
+each line may contain a list of attributes in the form of a space separated
+list of key=value pairs.  This is used by the installperl script to
+differentiate between files and links, for example.
+
+=head1 USAGE
+
+The hash reference returned by the new() function can be used to examine and
+modify the contents of the .packlist.  Items may be added/deleted from the
+.packlist by modifying the hash.  If the value associated with a hash key is a
+scalar, the entry written to the .packlist by any subsequent write() will be a
+simple filename.  If the value is a hash, the entry written will be the
+filename followed by the key=value pairs from the hash.  Reading back the
+.packlist will recreate the original entries.
+
+=head1 FUNCTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item new()
+
+This takes an optional parameter, the name of a .packlist.  If the file exists,
+it will be opened and the contents of the file will be read.  The new() method
+returns a reference to a hash.  This hash holds an entry for each line in the
+.packlist.  In the case of old-style .packlists, the value associated with each
+key is undef.  In the case of new-style .packlists, the value associated with
+each key is a hash containing the key=value pairs following the filename in the
+.packlist.
+
+=item read()
+
+This takes an optional parameter, the name of the .packlist to be read.  If
+no file is specified, the .packlist specified to new() will be read.  If the
+.packlist does not exist, Carp::croak will be called.
+
+=item write()
+
+This takes an optional parameter, the name of the .packlist to be written.  If
+no file is specified, the .packlist specified to new() will be overwritten.
+
+=item validate()
+
+This checks that every file listed in the .packlist actually exists.  If an
+argument which evaluates to true is given, any missing files will be removed
+from the internal hash.  The return value is a list of the missing files, which
+will be empty if they all exist.
+
+=item packlist_file()
+
+This returns the name of the associated .packlist file
+
+=back
+
+=head1 EXAMPLE
+
+Here's C<modrm>, a little utility to cleanly remove an installed module.
+
+    #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
+
+    use strict;
+    use IO::Dir;
+    use ExtUtils::Packlist;
+    use ExtUtils::Installed;
+
+    sub emptydir($) {
+	my ($dir) = @_;
+	my $dh = IO::Dir->new($dir) || return(0);
+	my @count = $dh->read();
+	$dh->close();
+	return(@count == 2 ? 1 : 0);
+    }
+
+    # Find all the installed packages
+    print("Finding all installed modules...\n");
+    my $installed = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
+
+    foreach my $module (grep(!/^Perl$/, $installed->modules())) {
+       my $version = $installed->version($module) || "???";
+       print("Found module $module Version $version\n");
+       print("Do you want to delete $module? [n] ");
+       my $r = <STDIN>; chomp($r);
+       if ($r && $r =~ /^y/i) {
+	  # Remove all the files
+	  foreach my $file (sort($installed->files($module))) {
+	     print("rm $file\n");
+	     unlink($file);
+	  }
+	  my $pf = $installed->packlist($module)->packlist_file();
+	  print("rm $pf\n");
+	  unlink($pf);
+	  foreach my $dir (sort($installed->directory_tree($module))) {
+	     if (emptydir($dir)) {
+		print("rmdir $dir\n");
+		rmdir($dir);

Subject: [PATCH 39/47] Fix code references to survive stash deletion (Perl
 semantics)

In Perl, when you delete a stash entry like delete $Foo::{aliased},
code that was compiled to call aliased() continues to work because
the compiled bytecode holds a direct reference to the CV (code value),
not to the stash entry.

This commit implements the same behavior in PerlOnJava:

1. GlobalVariable.getGlobalCodeRef() now pins RuntimeScalars in a
   separate cache that survives stash deletion. When the stash entry
   is deleted and later looked up, the pinned reference is returned.

2. Glob assignment (*aliased = *original) now updates the existing
   RuntimeScalar value via .set() instead of replacing the map entry.
   This ensures cached references see the updated code.

3. BytecodeCompiler caches the RuntimeScalar at compile time via
   LOAD_CONST instead of looking it up by name at runtime.

4. Restores the original CPAN::Meta::YAML code that deletes refaddr
   from the stash, which now works correctly.

Subject: [PATCH 40/47] Fix MM_PerlOnJava test target to include blib/lib in
 @INC via PERL5LIB

The test target was missing blib/lib in @INC, causing all module tests
to fail with Can't locate Module/X.pm errors. Test::Harness runs each
test file as a subprocess, so -I flags on the parent process do not
propagate. The fix sets PERL5LIB to include $(INST_LIB) and
$(INST_ARCHLIB), making the built module available to test subprocesses.

This enables jcpan to properly run module tests during installation.
Module::Runtime tests now pass 352/360 (previously 0/360).

Subject: [PATCH 41/47] Add blib.pm and fix MM_PerlOnJava to skip
 perllocal/packlist writes

- Add blib.pm (core module for module development/testing)
- Set NO_PERLLOCAL and NO_PACKLIST in MM_PerlOnJava to avoid errors
  when Makefile tries to write to jar:PERL5LIB (not a real path)

This fixes the perllocal.pod error during module installation and
enables tests that use 'use blib' to find modules in blib/lib.

Subject: [PATCH 42/47] Fix -M module hang and add PERL5LIB to stub Makefile
 tests

Two fixes for jcpan module testing:

1. ArgumentParser.java: When -M modules are specified without -e and
   stdin is interactive, run modules directly instead of waiting for
   stdin input. This matches Perl behavior where 'perl -MModule=args'
   runs the module import and exits.

2. MakeMaker.pm: Add PERL5LIB to stub Makefile test target so test
   subprocesses can find modules in blib/lib.

These fixes resolve the hang during Test::Needs installation where
IPC::Open3 subprocess tests would block waiting for input.

Subject: [PATCH 45/47] Implement lock() builtin as no-op for non-threaded Perl

In non-threaded Perl (and PerlOnJava), lock() is a no-op that simply
returns its argument. For scalar variables, it returns the dereferenced
value; for arrays and hashes, it returns the reference itself.

This matches Perl behavior where lock() is available but effectively
a no-op without threading support.

Subject: [PATCH 46/47] Fix list slice semantics for empty lists

When slicing an empty list with (empty_list())[index], the result should
be an empty list, not undef. This was causing Test::Tester::find_run_tests()
to hang because (caller($d))[3] was returning undef (truthy in list
assignment context) instead of empty list when the call stack was exhausted.

Added RuntimeList.getSlice() method that implements proper list slice
semantics:
- Empty list sliced at any index returns empty list
- Non-empty list sliced at out-of-bounds index returns undef

Updated Dereference.java to use list slice semantics for ListNode cases,
while preserving array dereference semantics for other cases like $a[0][1].

Subject: [PATCH 47/47] Fix list slice bytecode generation and add XSLoader.pm
 stub

Two fixes:
1. Dereference.java: Use local variables to store list and indices
   before calling getSlice(). This prevents JVM bytecode verifier
   errors when indices contain function calls that generate complex
   bytecode with exception handlers.

2. XSLoader.pm: Add a stub that preserves the Java-registered
   XSLoader::load function when %INC is cleared (e.g., by Perl
   test files). The stub only defines its own load() if the Java
   version is not already registered.
