Shell variables from the F file (written by Configure) are stored in the readonly-variable C<%Config>, indexed by their names. Values stored in config.sh as 'undef' are returned as undefined values. The perl C function can be used to check if a named variable exists. =over 4 =item myconfig() Returns a textual summary of the major perl configuration values. See also C<-V> in L. =item config_sh() Returns the entire perl configuration information in the form of the original config.sh shell variable assignment script. =item config_vars(@names) Prints to STDOUT the values of the named configuration variable. Each is printed on a separate line in the form: name='value'; Names which are unknown are output as C. See also C<-V:name> in L. =back =head1 EXAMPLE Here's a more sophisticated example of using %Config: use Config; use strict; my %sig_num; my @sig_name; unless($Config{sig_name} && $Config{sig_num}) { die "No sigs?"; } else { my @names = split ' ', $Config{sig_name}; @sig_num{@names} = split ' ', $Config{sig_num}; foreach (@names) { $sig_name[$sig_num{$_}] ||= $_; } } print "signal #17 = $sig_name[17]\n"; if ($sig_num{ALRM}) { print "SIGALRM is $sig_num{ALRM}\n"; } =head1 WARNING Because this information is not stored within the perl executable itself it is possible (but unlikely) that the information does not relate to the actual perl binary which is being used to access it. The Config module is installed into the architecture and version specific library directory ($Config{installarchlib}) and it checks the perl version number when loaded. The values stored in config.sh may be either single-quoted or double-quoted. Double-quoted strings are handy for those cases where you need to include escape sequences in the strings. To avoid runtime variable interpolation, any C<$> and C<@> characters are replaced by C<\$> and C<\@>, respectively. This isn't foolproof, of course, so don't embed C<\$> or C<\@> in double-quoted strings unless you're willing to deal with the consequences. (The slashes will end up escaped and the C<$> or C<@> will trigger variable interpolation) =head1 GLOSSARY Most C variables are determined by the C script on platforms supported by it (which is most UNIX platforms). Some platforms have custom-made C variables, and may thus not have some of the variables described below, or may have extraneous variables specific to that particular port. See the port specific documentation in such cases. =head2 _ =over 4 =item C<_a> From F: This variable defines the extension used for ordinary library files. For unix, it is F<.a>. The F<.> is included. Other possible values include F<.lib>. =item C<_exe> From F: This variable defines the extension used for executable files. C, Cygwin and F use F<.exe>. Stratus C uses F<.pm>. On operating systems which do not require a specific extension for executable files, this variable is empty. =item C<_o> From F: This variable defines the extension used for object files. For unix, it is F<.o>. The F<.> is included. Other possible values include F<.obj>. =back =head2 a =over 4 =item C From F: This variable is set to C if C (Andrew File System) is used on the system, C otherwise. It is possible to override this with a hint value or command line option, but you'd better know what you are doing. =item C From F: This variable is by default set to F. In the unlikely case this is not the correct root, it is possible to override this with a hint value or command line option. This will be used in subsequent tests for AFSness in the Perl configure and test process. =item C From F: This variable holds the number of bytes required to align a double-- or a long double when applicable. Usual values are 2, 4 and 8. The default is eight, for safety. =item C From F: This variable is set if the user needs to run ansi2knr. Currently, this is not supported, so we just abort. =item C From F: This variable contains the command which can be used to compute the host name. The command is fully qualified by its absolute path, to make it safe when used by a process with super-user privileges. =item C From F: The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary compatible with the present perl. In a full version string such as F<5.6.1>, api_revision is the C<5>. Prior to 5.5.640, the format was a floating point number, like 5.00563. F:incpush() and F will automatically search in F<$sitelib/.>. for older directories back to the limit specified by these api_ variables. This is only useful if you have a perl library directory tree structured like the default one. See C for how this works. The versioned site_perl directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the lowest possible value. The version list appropriate for the current system is determined in F. C To do: Since compatibility can depend on compile time options (such as bincompat, longlong, etc.) it should (perhaps) be set by Configure, but currently it isn't. Currently, we read a hard-wired value from F. Perhaps what we ought to do is take the hard-wired value from F but then modify it if the current Configure options warrant. F then would use an #ifdef guard. =item C From F: The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary compatible with the present perl. In a full version string such as F<5.6.1>, api_subversion is the C<1>. See api_revision for full details. =item C From F: The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary compatible with the present perl. In a full version string such as F<5.6.1>, api_version is the C<6>. See api_revision for full details. As a special case, 5.5.0 is rendered in the old-style as 5.005. (In the 5.005_0x maintenance series, this was the only versioned directory in $sitelib.) =item C From F: This variable combines api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion in a format such as 5.6.1 (or 5_6_1) suitable for use as a directory name. This is filesystem dependent. =item C From F: This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the ar program. After Configure runs, the value is reset to a plain C and is not useful. =item C From F: This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants to put architecture-dependent public library files for $package. It is most often a local directory such as F. Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal with filename expansion. =item C From F: This variable is the same as the archlib variable, but is filename expanded at configuration time, for convenient use. =item C From F: This variable is used for the 64-bitness part of $archname. =item C From F: This variable is a short name to characterize the current architecture. It is used mainly to construct the default archlib. =item C From F: This variable defines any additional objects that must be linked in with the program on this architecture. On unix, it is usually empty. It is typically used to include emulations of unix calls or other facilities. For perl on F, for example, this would include F. =item C From F: This variable encodes the prototype of asctime_r. It is zero if d_asctime_r is undef, and one of the C macros of F if d_asctime_r is defined. =item C From F: This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the full pathname (if any) of the awk program.
