B<h2xs> B<-h>
Omits creation of the F<Changes> file, and adds a HISTORY section to
the POD template.

Additional flags to specify to C preprocessor when scanning header for
function declarations. Should not be used without B<-x>.
pointer (like C<long long>), pointers to functions, or arrays. See
also the section on L<LIMITATIONS of B<-x>>.
+=item B<-b> I<version>
+
+Generates a .pm file which is backwards compatible with the specified
+perl version.
+
+For versions < 5.6.0, the changes are.
+ - no use of 'our' (uses 'use vars' instead)
+ - no 'use warnings'
+
+Specifying a compatibility version higher than the version of perl you
+are using to run h2xs will have no effect.

+=head2 Extension based on F<.h> and F<.c> files
+
+Suppose that you have some C files implementing some functionality,
+and the corresponding header files. How to create an extension which
+makes this functionality accessable in Perl? The example below
+assumes that the header files are F<interface_simple.h> and
+I<interface_hairy.h>, and you want the perl module be named as
+C<Ext::Ension>. If you need some preprocessor directives and/or
+linking with external libraries, see the flags C<-F>, C<-L> and C<-l>
+in L<"OPTIONS">.
+
+=over
+
+=item Find the directory name
+
+Start with a dummy run of h2xs:
+
+ h2xs -Afn Ext::Ension
+
+The only purpose of this step is to create the needed directories, and
+let you know the names of these directories. From the output you can
+see that the directory for the extension is F<Ext/Ension>.
+
+=item Copy C files
+
+Copy your header files and C files to this directory F<Ext/Ension>.
+
+=item Create the extension
+
+Run h2xs, overwriting older autogenerated files:
+
+ h2xs -Oxan Ext::Ension interface_simple.h interface_hairy.h
+
+h2xs looks for header files I<after> changing to the extension
+directory, so it will find your header files OK.
+
+=item Archive and test
+
+As usual, run
+
+ cd Ext/Ension
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make dist
+ make
+ make test
+
+=item Hints
+
+It is important to do C<make dist> as early as possible. This way you
+can easily merge(1) your changes to autogenerated files if you decide
+to edit your C<.h> files and rerun h2xs.
+
+Do not forget to edit the documentation in the generated F<.pm> file.
+
+Consider the autogenerated files as skeletons only, you may invent
+better interfaces than what h2xs could guess.
+
+Consider this section as a guideline only, some other options of h2xs
+may better suit your needs.
