ExtUtils::MM_Any is a superclass for the ExtUtils::MM_* set of
modules.  It contains methods which are either inherently
cross-platform or are written in a cross-platform manner.
.PP
Subclass off of ExtUtils::MM_Any \fIand\fR ExtUtils::MM_Unix.  This is a
temporary solution.

These are methods which are by their nature cross-platform and should
always be cross\-platform.

.IX Subsection "File::Spec wrappers  DEPRECATED"
The following methods are deprecated wrappers around File::Spec
functions.  They exist from before File::Spec did and in fact are from
which File::Spec sprang.
.PP
They are all deprecated.  Please use File::Spec directly.

These are methods which are thought to be cross-platform by virtue of
having been written in a way to avoid incompatibilities.

.Vb 1
\&  my $command = $mm->test_via_harness($perl, $tests);
.Ve
.Sp
Returns a \f(CW$command\fR line which runs the given set of \f(CW$tests\fR with
Test::Harness and the given \f(CW$perl\fR.
.Sp
Used on the t/*.t files.
.IP "test_via_script" 4
.IX Item "test_via_script"
.Vb 1
\&  my $command = $mm->test_via_script($perl, $script);
.Ve
.Sp
Returns a \f(CW$command\fR line which just runs a single test without
Test::Harness.  No checks are done on the results, they're just
printed.
.Sp
Used for test.pl, since they don't always follow Test::Harness
formatting.
