Config::Extensions3p
Hash lookup of which core extensions were built.
Usage
use Config::Extensions '%Extensions';if ($Extensions{PerlIO::via}) {# This perl has PerlIO::via built}
Overview
The Config::Extensions module provides a hash %Extensions containing all the core extensions that were enabled for this perl. The hash is keyed by extension name, with each entry having one of 3 possible values:
dynamic
|
The extension is dynamically linked |
|---|---|
nonxs
|
The extension is pure perl, so doesn't need linking to the perl executable |
static
|
The extension is statically linked to the perl binary |
As all values evaluate to true, a simple "if" test is good enough to determine whether an extension is present.
All the data uses to generate the %Extensions hash is already present in the "Config" module, but not in such a convenient format to quickly reference.
