NAME
       ExtUtils::Miniperl, writemain - write the C code for perlmain.c

SYNOPSIS
       "use ExtUtils::Miniperl;"

       "writemain(@directories);"

DESCRIPTION
       This whole module is written when perl itself is built from a script
       called minimod.PL. In case you want to patch it, please patch mini-
       mod.PL in the perl distribution instead.

       writemain() takes an argument list of directories containing archive
       libraries that relate to perl modules and should be linked into a new
       perl binary. It writes to STDOUT a corresponding perlmain.c file that
       is a plain C file containing all the bootstrap code to make the modules
       associated with the libraries available from within perl.

       The typical usage is from within a Makefile generated by ExtU-
       tils::MakeMaker. So under normal circumstances you won't have to deal
       with this module directly.
