161. DESCRIPTION
17--------------
18
19Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions,
20increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C namespace
21environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module,
22typically F<ppport.h>, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API
23features to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about
24keeping track of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit.

272. INSTALLATION
28---------------
29
30Installation of the Devel::PPPort module follows the standard Perl Way
31and should not be harder than:
32
33 perl Makefile.PL
34 make
35 make test
36 make install
37
38Note that you may need to become superuser to 'make install'.
39
40If you're building the module under Windows, you may need to use a
41different make program, such as 'nmake', instead of 'make'.
