# SYNOPSIS

        use Config::Extensions '%Extensions';
        if ($Extensions{PerlIO::via}) {
            # This perl has PerlIO::via built
        }

# DESCRIPTION

The Config::Extensions module provides a hash `%Extensions` containing all the core extensions that were enabled for this perl. The hash is keyed by extension name, with each entry having one of 3 possible values:

dynamic

  The extension is dynamically linked

nonxs

  The extension is pure perl, so doesn't need linking to the perl executable

static

  The extension is statically linked to the perl binary

As all values evaluate to true, a simple `if` test is good enough to determine whether an extension is present.

All the data uses to generate the `%Extensions` hash is already present in the `Config` module, but not in such a convenient format to quickly reference.
