43 <p>bytes.pm was introduced with 5.6. This means any code which has 'use
44 bytes' in it won't even compile on 5.5.X. Since bytes is a lexical
45 pragma and must be used at compile time we can't simply wrap it in
46 a BEGIN { eval 'use bytes' } block.</p>
47 <p>ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes is just a very thin wrapper around bytes
48 which works just like it when bytes.pm exists and everywhere else it
49 does nothing.</p>
