Seems reasonable - but as you know in not to distant future, they shall also override CC, CCLD, ... (using ExtUtils::Builder or alike, instead of plain cc). Does the return hash of this callback overrides all EU::MM constants? Is there a minimum version of EU::MM for this CONFIGURE callback? > I played a bit with MakeMaker extensions hacking > https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir::Install and mohawk pointed me to > https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker::BigHelper ... > I know, all those MM extensions (ShareDir::Install ...) will not play well > together. > > What should be a reasonable way out - having a pluggable API for all those > extensions? > > They can be made to cooperate by not exporting the postambles to MY::, but > instead glue them together something like this: > > my @extensions = (...); > load($_) for @extensions > my @methods = map { my $method = $extension .
