Config::Extensions(3)	Perl Programmers Reference Guide   Config::Extensions(3)

NAME
     Config::Extensions - hash lookup of which core extensions were built.

SYNOPSIS
	 use Config::Extensions '%Extensions';
	 if ($Extensions{PerlIO::via}) {
	     # This perl has PerlIO::via built
	 }

DESCRIPTION
     The Config::Extensions module provides a hash %Extensions containing all
     the core extensions that were enabled for this perl. The hash is keyed by
     extension name, with each entry having one of 3 possible values:

     dynamic
	 The extension is dynamically linked

     nonxs
	 The extension is pure perl, so doesn't need linking to the perl exe-
	 cutable

     static
	 The extension is statically linked to the perl binary

     As all values evaluate to true, a simple "if" test is good enough to deter-
     mine whether an extension is present.

     All the data uses to generate the %Extensions hash is already present in
     the "Config" module, but not in such a convenient format to quickly refer-
     ence.
