 ExtUtils::Miniperl - write the C code for miniperlmain.c and perlmain.c

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS #

     use ExtUtils::Miniperl;
     writemain(@directories);
     # or
     writemain($fh, @directories);
     # or
     writemain(\$filename, @directories);

 "writemain()" takes an argument list of zero or more directories
 containing archive libraries that relate to perl modules and should be
 linked into a new perl binary. It writes a corresponding _m_i_n_i_p_e_r_l_m_a_i_n_._c
 or _p_e_r_l_m_a_i_n_._c file that is a plain C file containing all the bootstrap
 code to make the modules associated with the libraries available from
 within perl.  If the first argument to "writemain()" is a reference to a
 scalar it is used as the filename to open for output. Any other reference
 is used as the filehandle to write to. Otherwise output defaults to

“STDOUT”. #

 The typical usage is from within perl's own Makefile (to build
 _p_e_r_l_m_a_i_n_._c) or from _r_e_g_e_n_/_m_i_n_i_p_e_r_l_m_a_i_n_._p_l (to build miniperlmain.c).  So
 under normal circumstances you won't have to deal with this module
 directly.
