EXTUTILS::MAKEMAKER::CONFIG(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config — a wrapper around Config.pm. That's the whole thing bestie, it's giving "tiny but essential" ✨

It's a section 3perl man page, which is just man-speak for "this is a Perl library thingy" 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config;
print $Config{installbin};  # or whatever

yes, that's it. you just use it and then grab stuff out of %Config like $Config{installbin} — or literally whatever other key you want, no gatekeeping 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY — okay so read this part loud, bestie. this is not your cute little public API, it's the backstage area 🚫✨

It's a very thin wrapper around Config.pm — like, thin thin, sheer, barely-there 🧚 — and the entire reason it exists is so that MakeMaker is easier to test. that's the vibe. no cap, no extra features, no main character behavior from this module. it just wraps and lets MakeMaker do its testing thing 😌

and that's the whole page, you ate it 💅

this was pulled from the perl v5.44.0 docs, dated 2026-10-17 — so if you're reading it way later and everything still checks out, iconic. go write some tests, bestie 🫶🌸
