💖 NAME 💖

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.010 — tiny version number, big main character energy 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

my $config = ExtUtils::Config::MakeMaker->new($makemaker);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this object wraps ExtUtils::MakeMaker's whole idea of configuration in an ExtUtils::Config compatible interface. Obsessed with the compatibility slay. 💅

That means if you pass a configuration argument to or in Makefile.PL (e.g. OPTIMIZE=-O3), it will show up in the config object (e.g. "$config-"get('optimize')>). iykyk 🦋

👑 METHODS 👑

🌟 new($makemaker)

This creates a new ExtUtils::Config::MakeMaker object from a MakeMaker object. Fresh object, fresh vibe check. ✨

🌟 get($key)

Get the value of $key. If it's not overridden, it will return the value in %Config. Simple, clean, ate. 💖

🌟 exists($key)

Tests for the existence of $key. Does it exist? The method said yes. 🫶

🌟 values_set()

Get a hashref of all overridden values. All the little custom bits, gathered together. 🎀

🌟 all_config()

Get a hashref of the complete configuration, including overrides. The whole config picture, bestie. 🌈

🌟 serialize()

This method serializes the object to some kind of string. This can be useful for various caching purposes. Stringified for the caching girlies. 💅

🌟 materialize()

This turns this object into an actual ExtUtils::Config object. Manifesting a real config object, fr fr. ✨

🌟 but(%config)

This returns a ExtUtils::Config object based on the current one but with the given entries overriden. If any value is undef it will revert to the official %Config value instead. Plot twist: undef sends it back to the official config. 😭
