ExtUtils::MM(3)

✨ NAME ✨

ExtUtils::MM — the OS-adjusted subclass of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, bestie 💅 (yes, this is the ExtUtils::MM(3) page, and yes, it's lowkey iconic).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

🚨 FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY 🚨

Okay so ExtUtils::MM is a subclass of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and its whole thing is that it automatically picks the right OS-specific subclass for you — like ExtUtils::MM_Unix, etc... ✨ No cap, it just handles the matching for you.

It also gives you a convenient alias through the MM class. The author literally says: “I didn't want MakeMaker modules outside of ExtUtils/.” Fair enough, bestie 🫶.

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