+=head1 NAME
+
+MakeMaker - generate a Makefile for Perl extension
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module from
+a Makefile.PL. It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several
+subroutines that can be individually overridden. Each subroutines returns
+the text it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
+
+The best way to learn to use this is to look at how some of the
+extensions are generated, such as Socket.
