- =head1 NAME
-
- ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes - Version agnostic bytes.pm
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use just like bytes.pm
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- bytes.pm was introduced with 5.6. This means any code which has 'use
- bytes' in it won't even compile on 5.5.X. Since bytes is a lexical
- pragma and must be used at compile time we can't simply wrap it in
- a BEGIN { eval 'use bytes' } block.
-
- ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes is just a very thin wrapper around bytes
- which works just like it when bytes.pm exists and everywhere else it
- does nothing.
