NAME
       ExtUtils::Command::MM - Commands for the MM's to use in Makefiles

SYNOPSIS
         perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e "function" "-" arguments...

DESCRIPTION
       FFOORR IINNTTEERRNNAALL UUSSEE OONNLLYY!!  The interface is not stable.

       ExtUtils::Command::MM encapsulates code which would otherwise have to
       be done with large "one" liners.

       Any $(FOO) used in the examples are make variables, not Perl.

             testharness($verbose, @testlibs);

           Runs the tests on @ARGV via Test::Harness passing through the $ver-
           bose flag.  Any @testlibs will be unshifted onto the test's @INC.

           @testlibs are run in alphabetical order.

           pod2man() is a function performing most of the duties of the
           pod2man program.  Its arguments are exactly the same as pod2man as
           of 5.8.0 with the addition of:

               -permrw   octal permission to set the resulting manpage to

           And the removal of:

               -verbose/-v
               -help/-h

           If no arguments are given to pod2man it will read from @ARGV.

               # VMS only, key|value pairs come on STDIN
               perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e perllocalinstall

           'type' is the type of what you're installing.  Usually 'Module'.

           'module name' is simply the name of your module.  (Foo::Bar)

           Key/value pairs are extra information about the module.  Fields
           include:

               installed into      which directory your module was out into
               LINKTYPE            dynamic or static linking
               VERSION             module version number
               EXEFILES           any executables installed in a space seperated

               perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e uninstall 

           A wrapper around ExtUtils::Install::uninstall().  Warns that unin-
           stallation is deprecated and doesn't actually perform the uninstal-
           lation.
