NAME
       Alien::Build::Manual::Alien - General alien author documentation


VERSION
       version 2.83


SYNOPSIS
        perldoc Alien::Build::Manual::Alien


DESCRIPTION
       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.
