💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the Module:...Compiler(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the module is Module::Install::Compiler — Commands for interacting with the C compiler. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no cap, this section is literally:

To be completed

bestie, we'll circle back 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

many Perl modules that contain C and XS code have absolutely fiendishly complex Makefile.PL files. why? because ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't itself provide a huge amount of assistance and automation in this area. it's giving chaos, honestly 😭

so Module::Install::Compiler provides a number of commands that take care of common utility tasks, and it tries to take some of the intricacy out of creating C and XS modules. slay ✨

🛠️ COMMANDS 🛠️

the page says, verbatim:

To be completed

that's the whole vibe for now, iykyk 🫶

🚧 TO DO 🚧

real talk, bestie: the current implementation is relatively fragile and minimalistic. don't come for me 💀

it only handles some very basic wrapper around ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

it's currently undergoing extensive refactoring to provide a more generic compiler flag generation capability. this may take some time, and if anyone who maintains a Perl module that makes use of the compiler would like to help out, your assistance would be greatly appreciated — fr fr 🫶
