# [NAME](#NAME)

Module::Build::Base - Default methods for Module::Build

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
  Please see the Module::Build documentation.
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

The "Module::Build::Base" module defines the core functionality of "Module::Build". Its methods may be overridden by any of the platform-dependent modules in the "Module::Build::Platform::" namespace, but the intention here is to make this base module as platform-neutral as possible. Nicely enough, Perl has several core tools available in the "File::" namespace for doing this, so the task isn't very difficult.

Please see the "Module::Build" documentation for more details.
