NAME

     ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes - Version-agnostic bytes.pm

SYNOPSIS

       use just like bytes.pm

DESCRIPTION

     bytes.pm was introduced with 5.6.  This means any code which
     has 'use bytes' in it won't even compile on 5.5.X.  Since
     bytes is a lexical pragma and must be used at compile time
     we can't simply wrap it in a BEGIN { eval 'use bytes' }
     block.

     ExtUtils::MakeMaker::bytes is just a very thin wrapper
     around bytes which works just like it when bytes.pm exists
     and everywhere else it does nothing.
