EXTUTILS::MM_DARWIN(3perl)

💖 ExtUtils::MM_Darwin 💖

okay bestie so this is ExtUtils::MM_Darwin — it's the special-behaviors-for-OS-X girlie of the ExtUtils family, and she's got very specific taste in macOS nonsense ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

For internal MakeMaker use only

read that again, bestie — this is internal MakeMaker use only. not for you, not for your script, not for your side quest. she's behind the velvet rope 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

want the actual docs on the methods that get overridden in here? they live over in ExtUtils::MM_Unix or ExtUtils::MM_Any — go read those, no cap 💅

🦋 Overridden Methods

init_dist

so Apple's tar has this whole thing where it wants to copy resource forks across as ._foo files, right? iconic of it. this method turns that off 🫶

like. we are NOT doing the ._foo files today. not on her watch. periodt 💀✨

---

friendly lil reminder: she overrides stuff, she doesn't invent it — the real documentation is in ExtUtils::MM_Unix or ExtUtils::MM_Any, so run, don't walk 🌈

---

and that's the whole page, bestie 🧚 this was served up from perl v5.44.0, dated 2026-10-17 — slay, go forth, and may your MakeMaker builds be drama-free 👑💜🍓
