135 | <para>The Module::Build module is a system for building, testing, and

136 | installing <application>Perl</application> modules. It is meant to be an

137 | alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of
|
---|
138 | the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with
|
---|
139 | MakeMaker. It also does not require a <command>make</command> command on
|
---|
140 | your system. Most of the Module::Build code is
|
---|
141 | pure-<application>Perl</application> and written in a very cross-platform

142 | way.</para>
