Re^2: let Makefile.PL to do the Readme file for me -- new target? by haukex (Archbishop) on Jan 20, 2021 at 12:08 UTC
Make syntax isnt portable. I don't buy this argument. About 88% of the currently over 39k distributions in my (up-to-date) CPAN::Mini contain a `Makefile.PL`. Update: To clarify: I'm not saying Makefiles are necessarily portable. The point is the solutions to the OP can be implemented in a portable way, but the way the above statement is worded makes it seem like they can't. That's the problem with a four-word post; perhaps clarification would have been useful.	[reply] [d/l]
