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(1,8) it won't even compile on 5.5.X.  Since bytes is a lexical
       pragma and must be used at compile time(1,2,n) we can't simply wrap it in(1,8) 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.
