The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
-=cut
+=over 2
-# The following "=item C" is used by the attrib_help routine
-# likewise the "=back" below. So be careful when changing it!
+=item ABSTRACT
-=over 2
+One line description of the module. Will be included in PPD file.
+
+=item ABSTRACT_FROM
+
+Name of the file that contains the package description. MakeMaker looks
+for a line in the POD matching /^($package\s-\s)(.*)/. This is typically
+the first line in the "=head1 NAME" section. $2 becomes the abstract.
+
+=item AUTHOR
+
+String containing name (and email address) of package author(s). Is used
+in PPD (Perl Package Description) files for PPM (Perl Package Manager).
+
+=item BINARY_LOCATION
+
+Used when creating PPD files for binary packages. It can be set to a
+full or relative path or URL to the binary archive for a particular
+architecture. For example:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL BINARY_LOCATION=x86/Agent.tar.gz
+
+builds a PPD package that references a binary of the C<Agent> package,
+located in the C<x86> directory relative to the PPD itself.

+Switch to force usage of the Perl C API even when compiling for PERL_OBJECT.

+A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense (input from stdin, output
+to stdout) that is passed on each .pm file during the build (in the
+pm_to_blib() phase). It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done.
+
+Great care is necessary when defining the command if quoting needs to be
+done. For instance, you would need to say:
+
+ {'PM_FILTER' => 'grep -v \\"^\\#\\"'}
+
+to remove all the leading coments on the fly during the build. The
+extra \\ are necessary, unfortunately, because this variable is interpolated
+within the context of a Perl program built on the command line, and double
+quotes are what is used with the -e switch to build that command line. The
+# is escaped for the Makefile, since what is going to be generated will then
+be:
+
+ PM_FILTER = grep -v \"^\#\"
+
+Without the \\ before the #, we'd have the start of a Makefile comment,
+and the macro would be incorrectly defined.
+
+=item POLLUTE
+
+Release 5.005 grandfathered old global symbol names by providing preprocessor
+macros for extension source compatibility. As of release 5.6, these
+preprocessor definitions are not available by default. The POLLUTE flag
+specifies that the old names should still be defined:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
+
+Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install
+a module under 5.6 or later.
