Its value is prepend to libpth. This variable takes care of special
machines, like the mips. Usually, it should be empty.
+pm_apiversion (xs_apiversion.U):
+ This variable contains the version of the oldest perl
+ compatible with the present perl. (That is, pure perl modules
+ written for $pm_apiversion will still work for the current
+ version). perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically
+ search in $sitelib for older directories across major versions
+ back to pm_apiversion. This is only useful if you have a perl
+ library directory tree structured like the default one. The
+ versioned site_perl library was introduced in 5.005, so that's
+ the default setting for this variable. It's hard to imagine
+ it changing before Perl6. It is included here for symmetry
+ with xs_apiveprsion -- the searching algorithms will
+ (presumably) be similar.
+ See the INSTALL file for how this works.
+
pmake (Loc.U):
This variable is defined but not used by Configure.
The value is a plain '' and is not useful.
libraries on this platform, for example CPU-specific libraries
(on multi-CPU platforms) may be listed here.
+xs_apiversion (xs_apiversion.U):
+ This variable contains the version of the oldest perl binary
+ compatible with the present perl. perl.c:incpush() and
+ lib/lib.pm will automatically search in $sitearch for older
+ directories across major versions back to xs_apiversion.
+ This is only useful if you have a perl library directory tree
+ structured like the default one.
+ See INSTALL for how this works.
+ The versioned site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005,
+ so that is the lowest possible value.
+ Since this can depend on compile time options (such as
+ bincompat) it is set by Configure. Other non-default sources
+ of potential incompatibility, such as multiplicity, threads,
+ debugging, 64bits, sfio, etc., are not checked for currently,
+ though in principle we could go snooping around in old
+ Config.pm files.
