 pkg-config --modversion %n

=item %p

B<deprecated>

Platform independent "local command prefix". On *nix systems this is C<./>, on Windows it is an empty string.

Please note that this only works to run scripts on Unix, and does not work on Windows.  It is thus, not fit for purpose and should not be used.  As an alternative:

=over 4

=item autoconf "configure"

If you are trying to invoke the autoconf configure script, use C<%c> instead.  This will use the correct incantation on either Unix like systems and on Windows.
