EXTUTILS::MAKEMAKER::CONFIG(3pm)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config β€” bestie, it's literally just a lil wrapper around Config.pm 🫢

(Also hi, you're reading the ExtUtil...::Config(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, welcome to the group chat ✨)


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's the whole vibe, it's not deep:

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

That's it. That's the whole thing. %Config is right there, grab whatever key you need, installbin, or honestly whatever πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 🚨 Like, fr fr. This is not your main character module, she's a backstage girly.

It's a very thin wrapper around Config.pm β€” and when we say thin we mean THIN, like no cap, barely there πŸ¦‹

The whole reason she exists? So that MakeMaker is easier to test 😭 That's the plot. That's the entire arc. She's here to make testing less of a nightmare, and honestly? Iconic of her πŸ‘‘


Hope that cleared things up bestie, mwah πŸ’‹

Sign-off szn: this page is from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-11-03, and yes the header was out here truncating her name to ExtUtil...::Config(3pm) the whole time 😭 she deserves better. Go read the real docs, ily, bye πŸŽ€πŸŒΈ
