SUBROUTINES

       The following functions are not considered to be part of the public
       interface.  They are documented here for the benefit of future
       maintainers of this module.

   "standard_typemap_locations()"
       o   Purpose

           Provide a list of filepaths where typemap files may be found.  The
           filepaths -- relative paths to files (not just directory paths) --
           appear in this list in lowest-to-highest priority.

           The highest priority is to look in the current directory.

             'typemap'

           The second and third highest priorities are to look in the parent
           of the current directory and a directory called lib/ExtUtils
           underneath the parent directory.

             '../typemap',
             '../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',

           The fourth through ninth highest priorities are to look in the
           corresponding grandparent, great-grandparent and great-great-
           grandparent directories.

             '../../typemap',
             '../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../../../typemap',
             '../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../../../../typemap',
             '../../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',

           The tenth and subsequent priorities are to look in directories
           named ExtUtils which are subdirectories of directories found in
           @INC -- provided a file named typemap actually exists in such a
           directory.  Example:

             '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/ExtUtils/typemap',

           However, these filepaths appear in the list returned by
           "standard_typemap_locations()" in reverse order, i.e., lowest-to-
           highest.

             '/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../../../../typemap',
             '../../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../../../typemap',
             '../../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../../typemap',
             '../lib/ExtUtils/typemap',
             '../typemap',
             'typemap'

       o   Return Value
