ExtUtils::MM_Win95(3p)

ExtUtils::MM_Win953p

Method to customize makemaker for win9x

Usage

  You should not be using this module directly.

Overview

This is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Win32 containing changes necessary to get MakeMaker playing nice with command.com and other Win9Xisms.

Overridden methods

Most of these make up for limitations in the Win9x/nmake command shell.

max_exec_len

Win98 chokes on things like Encode if we set the max length to nmake's max of 2K. So we go for a more conservative value of 1K.

os_flavor

Win95 and Win98 and WinME are collectively Win9x and Win32
