Subject: Discourage use of PM_FILTER
PM_FILTER is, unfortunately, not cross-platform in the slightest. Its basically just a shell command. For this reason its use should be discourage in the documentation. Once the functionality has been duplicated in a safer form it will be deprecated. One possiblity is to allow passing of a subroutine ref. Read from STDIN, write to STDOUT.
Doc updated to correct errors, encourage use of perl one-liners, and to instead use PL_FILES: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/commit/26b8aa59ed07d7987836db07063629b016794dba
