🎀 NAME 🎀

ExtUtils::Constant::XS — generate C code for XS modules' constants. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

require ExtUtils::Constant::XS;

That's the line, bestie. Short, sweet, iconic. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ExtUtils::Constant::XS overrides ExtUtils::Constant::Base to generate C code for XS modules' constants. So like, it's the override doing that C-code-for-constants job, no cap. 🦋

💀 BUGS 💀

Okay so the BUGS section is lowkey giving empty group chat: Nothing is documented.

And then it follows up with: Probably others.

That's it. That's the whole list. 🙈
