ExtUtils::MY(3perl)

💖 ExtUtils::MY 💖

bestie. okay so. this is ExtUtils::MY, and she's a whole vibe from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — a subclass situation for when you wanna customize your MakeMaker tea. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::MY — the ExtUtils::MakeMaker subclass you use when you want to make it yours, no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so like, in your Makefile.PL, you just... do the thing:

# in your Makefile.PL
sub MY::whatever {
    ...
}

that's it. that's the whole entrance. iconic. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 🚨 bestie this is not for casual use, it's giving backstage pass only

okay so here's the lore: ExtUtils::MY is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM. 🫶 It gets handed to you inside your Makefile.PL so you can add and override MakeMaker functionality. main character energy, honestly.

It also gives you a convenient alias via the MY class — so cute, so convenient, obsessed. 🥰

Real talk tho: ExtUtils::MY might turn out to be a temporary solution. 👀 Like, it might not be forever. But MY won't go away. Not ever. MY is forever. 💖 periodt.

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 go forth and override responsibly 💅

this little beauty comes to you from perl v5.44.0, dated 2026-10-17, and yes, the whole thing lives in ExtUtils::MY(3perl) under the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. mwah. 💋
