EXTUTILS::MM_OS2(3perl)

💖 ExtUtils::MM_OS2 — the OS/2 glow-up for ExtUtils::MakeMaker 💖

okay so bestie, quick vibe check: this is a page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and it lives in the ExtUtils::MM_OS2 corner of the Perl universe. It's giving "let's make MakeMaker behave on OS/2" energy, and honestly? iconic. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::MM_OS2 — methods to override UN*X behaviour in ExtUtils::MakeMaker. no cap, that's literally the whole job. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use ExtUtils::MM_OS2; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed

okay so real talk: you don't even have to call this yourself, bestie. ExtUtils::MakeMaker pulls it in internally if needed. it's the friend who shows up uninvited but honestly the party would NOT be the same without them. 💅

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

so like... for actual documentation of the methods provided here, go read ExtUtils::MM_Unix. that's where the lore lives. 📖

the key thing to understand — and this is important, so listen up — this package overrides the implementation of those methods. it does not override the semantics. the what stays the same, only the how changes. it's giving "same girl, different outfit." 💜

---

👑 METHODS 👑

🌈 init_dist

Define TO_UNIX to convert OS2 linefeeds to Unix style.

that's it. that's the whole method. it sets up TO_UNIX so your funky OS/2 linefeeds get translated into Unix-style ones. slay. ✨

🧚 init_linker

(no extra notes given here, bestie — it does its thing, quietly, like a main character who doesn't need to explain herself. 💅)

🍓 os_flavor

OS/2 is OS/2.

fr fr. that's the entire description. the vibe check came back and it said "OS/2." no further commentary needed, periodt. 🔥

⭐ xs_static_lib_is_xs

(also no additional notes provided — it's on the list, it's iconic, it exists. 😌)

---

lowkey reminder: everything here is overridden behaviour, not new semantics. don't come for the rules, the rules are fine. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this came to you from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, perl v5.44.0, dated 2026-10-17. go forth and build something cute. bye mwah 💖💅✨🎀
