# ExtUtils::MM_Win95

# NAME

ExtUtils::MM_Win95 - method to customize MakeMaker for Win9X

# SYNOPSIS

      You should not be using this module directly.

# DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Win32 containing changes necessary to get MakeMaker playing nice with command.com and other Win9Xisms.

## Overridden methods

Most of these make up for limitations in the Win9x/nmake command shell. Mostly its lack of &&.

- xs_c

  The && problem.

- xs_cpp

  The && problem

- xs_o

  The && problem.

- max_exec_len

  Win98 chokes on things like Encode if we set the max length to nmake's max of 2K. So we go for a more conservative value of 1K.

- os_flavor

  Win95 and Win98 and WinME are collectively Win9x and Win32
