Summary : Perl/Pollution/Portability
Description :
Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions,
increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C namespace
environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module,
typically _ppport.h_, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API features
to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about keeping track
of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit.
'Devel::PPPort' contains two functions, 'WriteFile' and 'GetFileContents'.
'WriteFile''s only purpose is to write the _ppport.h_ C header file. This
file contains a series of macros and, if explicitly requested, functions
that allow XS modules to be built using older versions of Perl. Currently,
Perl versions from 5.003 to 5.20 are supported.
'GetFileContents' can be used to retrieve the file contents rather than
writing it out.
This module is used by 'h2xs' to write the file _ppport.h_.
