ExtUtils::HasCompiler - Check for the presence of a compiler
version 0.023
use ExtUtils::HasCompiler 'can_compile_extension';

This module tries to check if the current system is capable of compiling, linking and loading an XS module.
Notice: this is an early release, interface stability isn't guaranteed yet.
This checks if the system can compile, link and load a perl loadable object. It may take the following options:
Do not output the executed compilation commands.
An ExtUtils::Config (compatible) object for configuration.
This causes can_compile_loadable_object to not try to load the generated object. This defaults to true on a cross-compiling perl.
This checks if the system can compile and link a perl static library. It does not check it it can compile a new perl with it. It may take the following options:
Do not output the executed compilation commands.
An ExtUtils::Config (compatible) object for configuration.
This will call either "can_compile_loadable_object", or "can_compile_static_library", depending on which is the default on your configuration. In addition to the arguments listed above, it can take one more optional argument:
This will force the linktype to be either static or dynamic. Dynamic compilation on a static perl won't work, but static libraries can be viable on a dynamic perl.
