194Invokes the compiled perl interpreter with the given args. Basically the
195same as starting perl directly (usually via F<~/.staticperl/bin/perl>),
196but beats typing the path sometimes.

198Example: check that the Gtk2 module is installed and loadable.

1253=item Glib
1254
1255Glib literally requires Glib to be installed already to build - it tries
1256to fake this by running Glib out of the build directory before being
1257built. F<staticperl> tries to work around this by forcing C<MAN1PODS> and
1258C<MAN3PODS> to be empty via the C<PERL_MM_OPT> environment variable.

1264=item Pango
1265
1266In addition to the C<MAN3PODS> problem in Glib, Pango also routes around
1267L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> by compiling its files on its own. F<staticperl>
1268tries to patch L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix> to route around Pango.
