NAME

       Alien::Role - Extend Alien::Base with roles!

VERSION

       version 2.80

SYNOPSIS

        package Alien::libfoo;

        use parent qw( Alien::Base );
        use Role::Tiny::With qw( with );

        with 'Alien::Role::Dino';

        1;

DESCRIPTION

       The "Alien::Role" namespace is intended for writing roles that can be applied to
       Alien::Base to extend its functionality.  You could of course write subclasses that extend
       Alien::Base, but then you have to either stick with just one subclass or deal with
       multiple inheritance!  It is recommended that you use Role::Tiny since it can be used on
       plain old Perl classes which is good since Alien::Base doesn't use anything fancy like
       Moose or Moo.  There is one working example that use this technique that are worth
       checking out in the event you are interested: Alien::Role::Dino.

       This class itself doesn't do anything, it just documents the technique.
