Shell variables from the F file (written by Configure) are stored in the readonly-variable C<%Config>, indexed by their names. Values stored in config.sh as 'undef' are returned as undefined values. The perl C function can be used to check if a named variable exists. For a description of the variables, please have a look at the Glossary file, as written in the Porting folder, or use the url: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/blob/blead/Porting/Glossary =over 4 =item myconfig() Returns a textual summary of the major perl configuration values. See also C<-V> in L. =item config_sh() Returns the entire perl configuration information in the form of the original config.sh shell variable assignment script. =item config_re($regex) Like config_sh() but returns, as a list, only the config entries who's names match the $regex. =item config_vars(@names) Prints to STDOUT the values of the named configuration variable. Each is printed on a separate line in the form: name='value'; Names which are unknown are output as C. See also C<-V:name> in L. =item bincompat_options() Returns a list of C pre-processor options used when compiling this F binary, which affect its binary compatibility with extensions. C and C are shown together in the output of C as I. =item non_bincompat_options() Returns a list of C pre-processor options used when compiling this F binary, which do not affect binary compatibility with extensions. =item compile_date() Returns the compile date (as a string), equivalent to what is shown by C =item local_patches() Returns a list of the names of locally applied patches, equivalent to what is shown by C. =item header_files() Returns a list of the header files that should be used as dependencies for XS code, for this version of Perl on this platform. =back =head1 EXAMPLE Here's a more sophisticated example of using %Config: use Config; use strict; my %sig_num; my @sig_name; unless($Config{sig_name} && $Config{sig_num}) { die "No sigs?"; } else { my @names = split ' ', $Config{sig_name}; @sig_num{@names} = split ' ', $Config{sig_num}; foreach (@names) { $sig_name[$sig_num{$_}] ||= $_; } } print "signal #17 = $sig_name[17]\n"; if ($sig_num{ALRM}) { print "SIGALRM is $sig_num{ALRM}\n"; } =head1 WARNING Because this information is not stored within the perl executable itself it is possible (but unlikely) that the information does not relate to the actual perl binary which is being used to access it. The Config module is installed into the architecture and version specific library directory ($Config{installarchlib}) and it checks the perl version number when loaded. The values stored in config.sh may be either single-quoted or double-quoted. Double-quoted strings are handy for those cases where you need to include escape sequences in the strings. To avoid runtime variable interpolation, any C<$> and C<@> characters are replaced by C<\$> and C<\@>, respectively. This isn't foolproof, of course, so don't embed C<\$> or C<\@> in double-quoted strings unless you're willing to deal with the consequences. (The slashes will end up escaped and the C<$> or C<@> will trigger variable interpolation) =head1 GLOSSARY Most C variables are determined by the C script on platforms supported by it (which is most UNIX platforms). Some platforms have custom-made C variables, and may thus not have some of the variables described below, or may have extraneous variables specific to that particular port.
