The issue with ExtUtils::MakeMaker is it pulls in Perl header files and that is an overkill for small subroutines. An example is the IPC::Cmd that caused installing GCC just because of three-line maybe_command() from ExtUtils::MM_Unix. The intentions is to use ExtUtils::MM::Utils instead of ExtUtils::MakeMaker for these trivial methods. You can still call them via MM class name. METHODS maybe_command Returns true, if the argument is likely to be a command. BUGS These methods are copied from ExtUtils::MM_Unix. Other operating systems are not supported yet. The reason is this a hack for Linux distributions <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129443>. SEE ALSO ExtUtils::MakeMaker, ExtUtils::MM perl v5.26.3 2019-10-13 ExtUtils::MM::Utils(3)
