+=head2 The C<Objects> method
+
+The C<Objects> method arranges to create the object files that correspond to
+the specified source files. It is invoked as shown below:
+
+ @files = Objects $env <source or object files>;
+
+Under Unix, source files ending in F<.s> and F<.c> are currently
+supported, and will be compiled into a name of the same file ending
+in F<.o>. By default, all files are created by invoking the external
+command which results from expanding the C<CCCOM> construction variable,
+with C<%E<lt>> and C<%E<gt>> set to the source and object files,
+respectively. (See the section above on construction variable expansion
+for details). The variable C<CPPPATH> is also used when scanning source
+files for dependencies. This is a colon separated list of pathnames, and
+is also used to create the construction variable C<_IFLAGS,> which will
+contain the appropriate list of -C<I> options for the compilation. Any
+relative pathnames in C<CPPPATH> is interpreted relative to the
+directory in which the associated construction environment was created
+(absolute and top-relative names may also be used). This variable is
+used by C<CCCOM>. The behavior of this command can be modified by
+changing any of the variables which are interpolated into C<CCCOM>, such
+as C<CC>, C<CFLAGS>, and, indirectly, C<CPPPATH>. It's also possible
+to replace the value of C<CCCOM>, itself. As a convenience, this file
+returns the list of object filenames.
