Ok, I'm trying to do this but I don't understand what's going on. A
few questions about how perl builds:
What is calling Makefile.PL for each of the ext/ directories?
What exactly am I supposed to do in make_ext to allow Makefile.PL to see
a PERL_CORE flag?
Basically, I'm changing ExtUtils::MM_Unix so it spits out a $RUNPERL
that it uses instead of all the hardwired $(PERL) -I$(PERL_ARCH)
-I$(PERL_LIB). If PERL_CORE is set, $RUNPERL will have the extra
-I's. Otherwise its just $PERL. I just can't figure out how to get
the ext/*/Makefile.PL's to see the PERL_CORE flag.
