    package builder::MyBuilder;
    use strict;

    use base 'Module::Build::XSUtil';
    
    sub new {
        my ($class, %args) = @_;
        my $self = $class->SUPER::new(
            %args,
            generate_ppport_h    => 'lib/Your/XS/ppport.h',
            generate_xshelper_h  => 'lib/Your/XS/xshelper.h',
            needs_compiler_c99   => 1,
        );
        return $self;
    }

needs_compiler_cpp

This option checks C++ compiler's availability. If it's not available, Build.PL exits by 0.

In addition, append 'extra_compiler_flags' and 'extra_linker_flags' for C++.

generate_ppport_h

Generate ppport.h by Devel::PPPort.

generate_xshelper_h

Generate xshelper.h which is a helper header file to include EXTERN.h, perl.h, XSUB.h and ppport.h, and defines some portability stuff which are not supported by ppport.h.
