DESCRIPTION +2. INSTALLATION +3. DOCUMENTATION +4. BUGS +5. COPYRIGHT + + +-------------- +1. DESCRIPTION +-------------- + +Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions, +increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C namespace +environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module, +typically F<ppport.h>, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API +features to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about +keeping track of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit. + +--------------- +2. INSTALLATION +--------------- + +Installation of the Devel::PPPort module follows the standard Perl Way +and should not be harder than: + + perl Makefile.PL + make + make test + make install + +Note that you may need to become superuser to 'make install'. + +If you're building the module under Windows, you may need to use a +different make program, such as 'nmake', instead of 'make'. + +---------------- +3. DOCUMENTATION +---------------- + +To see the documentation, use the perldoc command: + + perldoc Devel::PPPort + +You can also visit CPAN Search and see the documentation online as +pretty nice HTML. This is also where you will find the most recent +version of this module: + + http://search.cpan.org/~mhx/Devel-PPPort/ + +------- +4. BUGS +------- + +If you find any bugs, Devel::PPPort doesn't seem to build on your +system or any of its tests fail, please use the CPAN Request Tracker + + http://rt.cpan.org/ + +to create a ticket for the module. + +------------ +5.
