# [NAME](#NAME)

ExtUtils::CBuilder::Platform::Windows - Builder class for Windows platforms

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

This module implements the Windows-specific parts of ExtUtils::CBuilder. Most of the Windows-specific stuff has to do with compiling and linking C code. Currently we support the 3 compilers perl itself supports: MSVC, BCC, and GCC.

This module inherits from "ExtUtils::CBuilder::Base", so any functionality not implemented here will be implemented there. The interfaces are defined by the ExtUtils::CBuilder documentation.
