ExtUtils::Builder::ParseXS - Essential functions for implementing XS in a Plan

VERSION

version 0.016

SYNOPSIS

$planner->load_module("ExtUtils::Builder::ParseXS");
$planner->parse_xs("foo.xs", "foo.c");

DESCRIPTION

This module implements several helper methods used in implementing XS.

It takes one optional argument config, which should be an ExtUtils::Config compatible object. If your $planner has a config delegate, that will be used as default value.
