NAME Platform - add dependencies on platforms DESCRIPTION This is a documentation-only release. There is not generally any reason to install it. The "Platform::*" namespace is for releasing dummy distributions which are only installable on a particular platform. For example, Platform::Windows can only be installed on Windows machines. Perl software designed to run on Windows only may then introduce a deliberate dependency on Platform::Windows to make its platform requirement explicit. Dependencies in ExtUtils::MakeMaker WriteMakefile( ..., MIN_PERL_VERSION => "5.6.1", PREREQ_PM => { "Platform::Windows" => 0, "Some::Module" => "1.23", ..., }, ); Dependencies in Module::Install perl_version "5.6.1"; requires "Platform::Windows" => 0; requires "Some::Module" => "1.23"; Dependencies in Module::Build my $build = Module::Build->new( ..., requires => { "perl" => "5.6.1", "Platform::Windows" => 0, "Some::Module" => "1.23", ..., }, ); BUGS Please report any bugs to .
