Howdy all
&lt;p&gt;
Does anyone know how to override (or coerce) the library filename extension that MakeMaker looks for on a per build bassis ...
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
For example to switch linking between shared (so) and static (a) libs.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
It always uses the .so if it exists.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
I'm no Perl guru, though diggin about in Kid.pm and it appears to use $Config{'so'}.&lt;br&gt;Thus a challenge! ... I don't get it, The values in $Config{} should be easily adjustable per build.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Thanks
