Config - access Perl configuration information
use Config;
if ($Config{usethreads}) {
print "has thread support\n"
}
use Config qw(myconfig config_sh config_vars config_re);
print myconfig();
print config_sh();
print config_re();
config_vars(qw(osname archname));
The Config module contains all the information that was available to
the Configure program at Perl build time (over 900 values).
Shell variables from the config.sh file (written by Configure) are
stored in the readonly-variable %Config, indexed by their names.
Values stored in config.sh as 'undef' are returned as undefined
values. The perl exists function can be used to check if a
named variable exists.
myconfig()-V in perlrun/Switches.
config_sh()config_re($regex)config_sh() but returns, as a list, only the config entries who's
names match the $regex.
config_vars(@names)name='value';
Names which are unknown are output as name='UNKNOWN';.
See also -V:name in perlrun/Switches.
Here's a more sophisticated example of using %Config:
use Config;
use strict;
my %sig_num;
my @sig_name;
unless($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 $sig_num{ALRM}\n";
}
Because this information is not stored within the perl executable itself it is possible (but unlikely) that the information does not relate to the actual perl binary which is being used to access it.
The Config module is installed into the architecture and version specific library directory ($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 $ and @ characters are replaced by \$ and
\@, respectively. This isn't foolproof, of course, so don't embed \$
or \@ in double-quoted strings unless you're willing to deal with the
consequences. (The slashes will end up escaped and the $ or @ will
trigger variable interpolation)
Most Config variables are determined by the Configure script
on platforms supported by it (which is most UNIX platforms). Some
platforms have custom-made Config variables, and may thus not have
some of the variables described below, or may have extraneous variables
specific to that particular port. See the port specific documentation
in such cases.
_aThis variable defines the extension used for ordinary library files. For unix, it is .a. The . is included. Other possible values include .lib.
_exeThis variable defines the extension used for executable files.
DJGPP, Cygwin and OS/2 use .exe. Stratus VOS uses .pm.
On operating systems which do not require a specific extension
for executable files, this variable is empty.
_oThis variable defines the extension used for object files. For unix, it is .o. The . is included. Other possible values include .obj.
afsThis variable is set to true if AFS (Andrew File System) is used
on the system, false otherwise. It is possible to override this
with a hint value or command line option, but you'd better know
what you are doing.
afsrootThis variable is by default set to /afs. In the unlikely case this is not the correct root, it is possible to override this with a hint value or command line option. This will be used in subsequent tests for AFSness in the Perl configure and test process.
alignbytesThis variable holds the number of bytes required to align a double-- or a long double when applicable. Usual values are 2, 4 and 8. The default is eight, for safety.
ansi2knrThis variable is set if the user needs to run ansi2knr. Currently, this is not supported, so we just abort.
aphostnameThis variable contains the command which can be used to compute the host name. The command is fully qualified by its absolute path, to make it safe when used by a process with super-user privileges.
api_revisionThe three variables, api_revision, api_version, and
api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary
compatible with the present perl. In a full version string
such as 5.6.1, api_revision is the 5.
Prior to 5.5.640, the format was a floating point number,
like 5.00563.
perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically search in
$sitelib/.. for older directories back to the limit specified
by these api_ variables. This is only useful if you have a
perl library directory tree structured like the default one.
See INSTALL for how this works. The versioned site_perl
directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the lowest
possible value. The version list appropriate for the current
system is determined in inc_version_list.U.
XXX To do: Since compatibility can depend on compile time
options (such as bincompat, longlong, etc.) it should
(perhaps) be set by Configure, but currently it isn't.
Currently, we read a hard-wired value from patchlevel.h.
Perhaps what we ought to do is take the hard-wired value from
patchlevel.h but then modify it if the current Configure
options warrant. patchlevel.h then would use an #ifdef guard.
api_subversionThe three variables, api_revision, api_version, and
api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary
compatible with the present perl. In a full version string
such as 5.6.1, api_subversion is the 1. See api_revision for
full details.
api_versionThe three variables, api_revision, api_version, and
api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary
compatible with the present perl. In a full version string
such as 5.6.1, api_version is the 6. See api_revision for
full details. As a special case, 5.5.0 is rendered in the
old-style as 5.005. (In the 5.005_0x maintenance series,
this was the only versioned directory in $sitelib.)
api_versionstringThis variable combines api_revision, api_version, and api_subversion in a format such as 5.6.1 (or 5_6_1) suitable for use as a directory name. This is filesystem dependent.
arThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the ar program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain ar and is not useful.
archlibThis variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants to put architecture-dependent public library files for $package. It is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/lib. Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal with filename expansion.
archlibexpThis variable is the same as the archlib variable, but is filename expanded at configuration time, for convenient use.
archname64This variable is used for the 64-bitness part of $archname.
archnameThis variable is a short name to characterize the current architecture. It is used mainly to construct the default archlib.
archobjsThis variable defines any additional objects that must be linked in with the program on this architecture. On unix, it is usually empty. It is typically used to include emulations of unix calls or other facilities. For perl on OS/2, for example, this would include os2/os2.obj.
asctime_r_protoThis variable encodes the prototype of asctime_r.
It is zero if d_asctime_r is undef, and one of the
REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_asctime_r
is defined.
awkThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the awk program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain awk and is not useful.
baserevThe base revision level of this package, from the .package file.
bashThis variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful.
binThis variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants to put publicly executable images for the package in question. It is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/bin. Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal with ~name substitution.
binexpThis is the same as the bin variable, but is filename expanded at configuration time, for use in your makefiles.
bisonThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the bison program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain bison and is not useful.
byaccThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the byacc program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain byacc and is not useful.
byteorderThis variable holds the byte order in a UV. In the following,
larger digits indicate more significance. The variable byteorder
is either 4321 on a big-endian machine, or 1234 on a little-endian,
or 87654321 on a Cray ... or 3412 with weird order !
cThis variable contains the \c string if that is what causes the echo command to suppress newline. Otherwise it is null. Correct usage is $echo $n ``prompt for a question: $c''.
castflagsThis variable contains a flag that precise difficulties the compiler has casting odd floating values to unsigned long: 0 = ok 1 = couldn't cast < 0 2 = couldn't cast >= 0x80000000 4 = couldn't cast in argument expression list
catThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the cat program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain cat and is not useful.
ccThis variable holds the name of a command to execute a C compiler which
can resolve multiple global references that happen to have the same
name. Usual values are cc and gcc.
Fervent ANSI compilers may be called c89. AIX has xlc.
cccdlflagsThis variable contains any special flags that might need to be
passed with cc -c to compile modules to be used to create a shared
library that will be used for dynamic loading. For hpux, this
should be +z. It is up to the makefile to use it.
ccdlflagsThis variable contains any special flags that might need to be passed to cc to link with a shared library for dynamic loading. It is up to the makefile to use it. For sunos 4.1, it should be empty.
ccflagsThis variable contains any additional C compiler flags desired by the user. It is up to the Makefile to use this.
ccflags_uselargefilesThis variable contains the compiler flags needed by large file builds and added to ccflags by hints files.
ccnameThis can set either by hints files or by Configure. If using
gcc, this is gcc, and if not, usually equal to cc, unimpressive, no?
Some platforms, however, make good use of this by storing the
flavor of the C compiler being used here. For example if using
the Sun WorkShop suite, ccname will be workshop.
ccsymbolsThe variable contains the symbols defined by the C compiler alone. The symbols defined by cpp or by cc when it calls cpp are not in this list, see cppsymbols and cppccsymbols. The list is a space-separated list of symbol=value tokens.
ccversionThis can set either by hints files or by Configure. If using a (non-gcc) vendor cc, this variable may contain a version for the compiler.
cf_byLogin name of the person who ran the Configure script and answered the questions. This is used to tag both config.sh and config_h.SH.
cf_emailElectronic mail address of the person who ran Configure. This can be used by units that require the user's e-mail, like MailList.U.
cf_timeHolds the output of the date command when the configuration file was
produced. This is used to tag both config.sh and config_h.SH.

indicates to the C program how many bytes there are in a character.
chgrpThis variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful.
chmodThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the chmod program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain chmod and is not useful.
chownThis variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful.
clocktypeThis variable holds the type returned by times(). It can be long,
or clock_t on BSD sites (in which case <sys/types.h> should be
included).
commThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the comm program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain comm and is not useful.
compressThis variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful.
containsThis variable holds the command to do a grep with a proper return
status. On most sane systems it is simply grep. On insane systems
it is a grep followed by a cat followed by a test. This variable
is primarily for the use of other Configure units.
cpThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the cp program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain cp and is not useful.
cpioThis variable is defined but not used by Configure. The value is a plain '' and is not useful.
cppThis variable is used internally by Configure to determine the
full pathname (if any) of the cpp program. After Configure runs,
the value is reset to a plain cpp and is not useful.
cpp_stuffThis variable contains an identification of the concatenation mechanism used by the C preprocessor.

cppflagsThis variable holds the flags that will be passed to the C pre- processor. It is up to the Makefile to use it.
cpplastThis variable has the same functionality as cppminus, only it applies to cpprun and not cppstdin.
cppminusThis variable contains the second part of the string which will invoke
the C preprocessor on the standard input and produce to standard
output. This variable will have the value - if cppstdin needs
a minus to specify standard input, otherwise the value is ``''.
cpprunThis variable contains the command which will invoke a C preprocessor on standard input and put the output to stdout. It is guaranteed not to be a wrapper and may be a null string if no preprocessor can be made directly available. This preprocessor might be different from the one used by the C compiler. Don't forget to append cpplast after the preprocessor options.
cppstdinThis variable contains the command which will invoke the C preprocessor on standard input and put the output to stdout. It is primarily used by other Configure units that ask about preprocessor symbols.
cppsymbolsThe variable contains the symbols defined by the C preprocessor alone. The symbols defined by cc or by cc when it calls cpp are not in this list, see ccsymbols and cppccsymbols. The list is a space-separated list of symbol=value tokens.

It is zero if d_crypt_r is undef, and one of the
REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_crypt_r
is defined.

d_GconvertThis variable holds what Gconvert is defined as to convert
floating point numbers into strings. By default, Configure
sets this macro to use the first of gconvert, gcvt, or sprintf
that pass sprintf-%g-like behaviour tests. If perl is using
long doubles, the macro uses the first of the following
functions that pass Configure's tests: qgcvt, sprintf (if
Configure knows how to make sprintf format long doubles--see
sPRIgldbl), gconvert, gcvt, and sprintf (casting to double).
The gconvert_preference and gconvert_ld_preference variables
can be used to alter Configure's preferences, for doubles and
long doubles, respectively. If present, they contain a
space-separated list of one or more of the above function
names in the order they should be tried.
d_Gconvert may be set to override Configure with a platform- specific function. If this function expects a double, a different value may need to be set by the uselongdouble.cbu call-back unit so that long doubles can be formatted without loss of precision.
