The - versioned site_perl library was introduced in 5.005, so that's - the default setting for this variable. It's hard to imagine - it changing before Perl6. It is included here for symmetry - with xs_apiveprsion -- the searching algorithms will - (presumably) be similar. - See the INSTALL file for how this works. - pmake (Loc.U): This variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful. @@ -4878,23 +4863,6 @@ xlibpth (libpth.U): libraries on this platform, for example CPU-specific libraries (on multi-CPU platforms) may be listed here. -xs_apiversion (xs_apiversion.U): - This variable contains the version of the oldest perl binary - compatible with the present perl. perl.c:incpush() and - lib/lib.pm will automatically search in $sitearch for older - directories across major versions back to xs_apiversion. - This is only useful if you have a perl library directory tree - structured like the default one. - See INSTALL for how this works. - The versioned site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005, - so that is the lowest possible value. - Since this can depend on compile time options - it is set by Configure.
