EXTUTILS::MM_VOS(3perl)

💖 ExtUtils::MM_VOS 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and it's giving very niche, very specific, very "iykyk" energy. we're talking ExtUtils::MM_VOS — the VOS specific subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Unix. tiny page. powerful page. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::MM_VOS — the VOS specific subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Unix. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so literally do not touch this yourself, bestie:

Don't use this module directly.
Use ExtUtils::MM and let it choose.

like, no cap — you let ExtUtils::MM pick for you. it knows what it's doing. you don't. (affectionate) 🎀

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this right here is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Unix, and it's carrying all the functionality for VOS. VOS! iconic, underrated, deeply specific. 🌈

and unless somebody explicitly says otherwise, it does its thing exactly like ExtUtils::MM_Unix. same behaviour, same energy, just with the VOS twist. periodt. ✨

🧚 Overridden methods 🧚

this is the one method that gets its own lil glow-up:

• extra_clean_files — cleanup for the VOS core files. that's the whole job description, and honestly? she ate. 💅🍓
