ExtUtils::MM(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

ExtUtils::MM — OS adjusted ExtUtils::MakeMaker subclass. Like, the manual name is right there, bestie: we're on the ExtUtils::MM(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and this is the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

require ExtUtils::MM;
my $mm = MM->new(...);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY — no cap, this is the warning label and it's giving very much "bestie, this is not the public main character." 💅

ExtUtils::MM is a subclass of ExtUtils::MakeMaker which automatically chooses the appropriate OS specific subclass for you (ie. ExtUtils::MM_Unix, etc...). The way it just picks the right one for your OS? Obsessed. 🦋

It also provides a convenient alias via the MM class (I didn't want MakeMaker modules outside of ExtUtils/). So cute, so tidy, we love a neat little alias situation. 🎀

This class might turn out to be a temporary solution, but MM won't go away. Periodt. 💀✨
