8.53 ExtUtils::Liblist

Used for building a Makefile for a Perl module. Takes a list of libraries and returns platform-appropriate lines that can be included in the Makefile.

require ExtUtils::Liblist;
ExtUtils::Liblist::ext($potential_libs[, $verbose]);
The input list $potential_libs is in the form -llib1 -llib2 -llib3. Additional library paths may be included in the form -L/another/path, which affects searches for all subsequent libraries. If the Boolean $verbose is specified, verbose output messages are provided. Returns a list of four scalar values:

EXTRALIBS

List of libraries that need to be linked with ld when linking a Perl binary that includes a static extension.

LDLOADLIBS

List of static or dynamic libraries that can or must be linked when creating a shared library using ld.

LD_RUN_PATH

Colon-separated list of the directories in LDLOADLIBS.

BSLOADLIBS

List of libraries that are needed but can be linked in dynamically with the DynaLoader at runtime.
