✨ Alien::...thoring(3) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the Alien::...thoring(3) page — a lil corner of User Contributed Perl Documentation — and honestly? it's giving "we moved on and the old page is just politely pointing you somewhere better". let's get into it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

Alien::Base::Authoring — authoring an Alien distribution using Alien::Base. that's the whole vibe. it's the how-to-author-an-Alien-distro page 🦋

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 2.88 ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, literally just go read the docs, no cap:

% perldoc Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor
% perldoc Alien::Base::ModuleBuild::Authoring

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so back in the day, this page documented the only way to author an Alien distribution, and that way was Alien::Base::ModuleBuild. and the way that it's not that anymore… 💅

you should now seriously consider using the newer more reliable method, which is via Alien::Build and alienfile. read all about it in Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor and Alien::Base::ModuleBuild::Authoring. obsessed with a glow-up, fr fr ✨
