The issue with L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> is it pulls in Perl header files and that is an overkill for small subroutines. An example is the L<IPC::Cmd> that caused installing GCC just because of three-line I<maybe_command()> from L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>. The intentions is to use L<ExtUtils::MM::Utils> instead of L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> for these trivial methods. You can still call them via L<MM> class name. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item maybe_command Returns true, if the argument is likely to be a command. =cut if (!exists $INC{'ExtUtils/MM.pm'}) { *MM::maybe_command = *ExtUtils::MM::maybe_command = \&maybe_command; } sub maybe_command { my($self,$file) = @_; return $file if -x $file && ! -d $file; return; } 1; =back =head1 BUGS These methods are copied from L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>. Other operating systems are not supported yet. The reason is this L<a hack for Linux distributions|https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129443>. =head1 SEE ALSO L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker>, L<ExtUtils::MM> =cut
