Alien::Build::Manual::Alien − General alien author documentation
version 2.80
perldoc Alien::Build::Manual::Alien
The goal of the
Alien namespace is to provide non-CPAN dependencies (so
called "Alien" dependencies) for CPAN modules. The
history and intent of this idea is documented in the
documentation-only Alien module. The
"Alien−Build" distribution provides a
framework for building aliens. The intent is to fix bugs and
enhance the interface of a number of common tools so that
all aliens may benefit. The distribution is broken up into
these parts:
The Alien Installer (configure / build-time)
Alien::Build and alienfile are used to detect and install aliens. They are further documented in Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor.
The Alien Runtime (runtime)
Alien::Base is the base class for aliens in the "Alien−Build" system. Its use by Alien consumers is documented in Alien::Build::Manual::AlienUser.
The Plugin system (configure / build-time)
Because many packages are implemented using different tools, the detection, build and install logic for a particular Alien can vary a lot. As such, much of Alien::Build is implemented as a series of plugins that inherit from Alien::Build::Plugin. An overview of building your own plugins is documented in Alien::Build::Manual::PluginAuthor.
