ExtUtil...nstants(3pm)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Okay bestie, welcome to the ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants(3pm) page from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide. The vibe? Initialization values for some globals β€” that's literally the name: ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants. ✨

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

Use it like this, exactly:

use ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants ();

$PrototypeRegexp = $ExtUtils::ParseXS::Constants::PrototypeRegexp;

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's what's going on: initialization of certain non-subroutine variables in ExtUtils::ParseXS and some of its supporting packages has been moved into this package. Why? So those values can be defined exactly once and then re-used in any package. That's the whole point, and it's lowkey iconic. πŸ’…

Nothing is exported. Use fully qualified variable names. Fr fr, no sneaky shortcuts with the variable names here. 🫢

Catch you later, bestie β€” this was ExtUtil...nstants(3pm) from perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-11-03. Mwah! πŸŽ€
