NAME

       "Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder" - build-time support for extensions to "Object::Pad"

SYNOPSIS

       In Build.PL:

          use Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder;

          my $build = Module::Build->new)
             ...,
             configure_requires => {
                'Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder' => 0,
             },
          );

          Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extend_module_build( $build );

          ...

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a build-time helper to assist authors writing XS modules that provide
       Object::Pad extensions. It prepares a Module::Build-using distribution to be able to
       compile it.

METHODS

   write_object_pad_h
          Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->write_object_pad_h

       Writes the object_pad.h file to the current working directory. To cause the compiler to
       actually find this file, see "extra_compiler_flags".

   extra_compiler_flags
          @flags = Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extra_compiler_flags

       Returns a list of extra flags that the build scripts should add to the compiler
       invocation. This enables the C compiler to find the object_pad.h file.

   extend_module_build
          Object::Pad::ExtensionBuilder->extend_module_build( $build )

       A convenient shortcut for performing all the tasks necessary to make a Module::Build-based
       distribution use the helper.
