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 minimod.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
       ExtUtils::MakeMaker. So under normal circumstances you
       won't have to deal with this module directly.
