| 16 | 1. DESCRIPTION |
| 17 | -------------- |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Perl's API has changed over time, gaining new features, new functions, |
| 20 | increasing its flexibility, and reducing the impact on the C namespace |
| 21 | environment (reduced pollution). The header file written by this module, |
| 22 | typically F<ppport.h>, attempts to bring some of the newer Perl API |
| 23 | features to older versions of Perl, so that you can worry less about |
| 24 | keeping track of old releases, but users can still reap the benefit. |
| 25 | |

| 27 | 2. INSTALLATION |
| 28 | --------------- |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Installation of the Devel::PPPort module follows the standard Perl Way |
| 31 | and should not be harder than: |
| 32 | |
| 33 | perl Makefile.PL |
| 34 | make |
| 35 | make test |
| 36 | make install |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Note that you may need to become superuser to 'make install'. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | If you're building the module under Windows, you may need to use a |
| 41 | different make program, such as 'nmake', instead of 'make'. |
| 42 | |
