Alien::...gConfig(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, you just opened the manual page for Alien::Base::PkgConfig — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page (the header truncates the title as Alien::...gConfig(3), iykyk 😭).

Alien::Base::PkgConfig — Private legacy pkg-config class for Alien::Base.

✨ VERSION ✨

version 2.88 — that's the version, no cap. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea: this class is used internally by Alien::Base and Alien::Base::ModuleBuild to store information from pkg-config about installed Aliens. 👑

It is not used internally by the newer alienfile and Alien::Build. Ngl, that's important.

And listen: it should never be used externally, and it should not be used for code new inside of "Alien-Build". That's the rule, bestie — no cap. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Alien::Base — iconic, obviously. 💖
• alienfile — newer bestie. ✨
• Alien::Build — also newer bestie. 🦋
