💅 ExtUtils::Builder::AutoDetect::C

okay bestie, gather round, because this page is from User Contributed Perl Documentation and it is short but it is important, fr fr.

🎀 NAME 🎀

ExtUtils::Builder::AutoDetect::C — it's a backwards compatability shim for ExtUtils::Builder::BuildTools::FromPerl. that's the whole vibe. that's the whole name. 💖

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.037 — bestie, you're on 0.037, don't forget it 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, lowkey the tea here is: this module is a backwards compatability shim for ExtUtils::Builder::BuildTools::FromPerl.

that means it exists so old code doesn't break. it's giving "nostalgia tour." 🙈

and the way that the docs put it: you should use that instead. 😭 no cap. if you're starting something new, go straight to ExtUtils::Builder::BuildTools::FromPerl and don't look back. this one is just here holding the door open for your legacy code. iconic of it, honestly. 💅

bestie note: this is a compatability shim, so its entire main character energy is "i keep the old stuff working." don't build your new thing on it if you don't have to. 🌈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

hmm, nope — this page doesn't list a SEE ALSO section, so there's nothing extra to send you to here. sorry bestie 🥺 the docs keep it minimal. if you want the real thing, it's ExtUtils::Builder::BuildTools::FromPerl and that's literally mentioned up in DESCRIPTION. 💜

and that's the whole page, no filler, no fluff, just a tiny little shim doing its best 🍓

this was perl v5.40.1, dated 2026-06-12, straight from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — mwah, go forth and build 💖✨🧚
