OK, I've tried this - the following code is an example of how to get
MakeMaker's variables in a Makefile.PL:
<<<<<<<<
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# If this function is not called manually on older versions of
# ExtUtils::MakeMaker, it goes tits up.
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::full_setup();
my $mm = MM->new({
'NAME' => 'Pod::Constants',
...
});
open TEMPFILE, "t/tempfile" or die $!;
print TEMPFILE, $mm->{FULLPERL},"\n";
close TEMPFILE;
$mm->flush();
<<<<<<<<
In the test script, you have to open "t/tempfile" to get the contents.
It's a hack, but it works. Tested with 5.00503 and 5.6.1.
I fall back to the $Config{perlpath} and $^X variables in the event of a
failure with this method.
There should be an easier way.
Cheers,
