DESCRIPTION

15       The goal of the Alien namespace is to provide non-CPAN dependencies (so
16       called "Alien" dependencies) for CPAN modules. The history and intent
17       of this idea is documented in the documentation-only Alien module.  The
18       "Alien-Build" distribution provides a framework for building aliens.
19       The intent is to fix bugs and enhance the interface of a number of
20       common tools so that all aliens may benefit. The distribution is broken
21       up into these parts:
22
23       The Alien Installer (configure / build-time)
24           Alien::Build and alienfile are used to detect and install aliens.
25           They are further documented in Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor.
26
27       The Alien Runtime (runtime)
28           Alien::Base is the base class for aliens in the "Alien-Build"
29           system. Its use by Alien consumers is documented in
30           Alien::Build::Manual::AlienUser.
31
32       The Plugin system (configure / build-time)
33           Because many packages are implemented using different tools, the
34           detection, build and install logic for a particular Alien can vary
35           a lot.  As such, much of Alien::Build is implemented as a series of
36           plugins that inherit from Alien::Build::Plugin.  An overview of
37           building your own plugins is documented in
38           Alien::Build::Manual::PluginAuthor.
