NAME

       Carp::Datum::MakeMaker - Offer to strip Carp::Datum calls statically

SYNOPSIS

	# Put this at the top of the Makefile.PL for your module
	use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;       # you may omit this line
	use Carp::Datum::MakeMaker;

DESCRIPTION

       The "Carp::Datum::MakeMaker" module supersedes the regular WriteMakefile() routine of "ExtUtils::MakeMaker".

       When running the Makefile.PL from a module interactively, the user will be asked whether calls to "Carp::Datum" should be stripped at build
       time.

       By default, or when running non-interactively, most calls to Carp::Datum routines will be removed: the "datum_strip" program will be
       invoked to filter *.pm files during the build process.  This program is a mere wrapper for the datum_strip() routine, defined in
       "Carp::Datum::Strip".

       The only call that will not be stripped is the DTRACE() call.  However, it will be dynamically remapped to a "Log::Agent" call.	It cannot
       be statically remapped because of its baroque interface.

       At the top of Makefile.PL, insert

	   use Carp::Datum::MakeMaker;

       which will take care of loading "ExtUtils::MakeMaker".  Note that it makes sense to refer to this module, since "Carp::Datum" is being used
       internally, and therefore the user will not be able to install the module if they do not have "Carp::Datum" already installed.

       If you wish to be nicer about "Carp::Datum" not being installed, you can say instead:

	   use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
	   eval "use Carp::Datum::MakeMaker;";

	   WriteMakefile(
	       'NAME'	   => "Your::module::name",
	       'PREREQ_PM' => {
		   'Carp::Datum'  => '0.100',
	       },
	   );

       It will allow them to run the Makefile.PL, and yet be reminded about the missing "Carp::Datum" module.  Chances are they won't be able to
       go much farther though...
