💅 NAME 💅

okay so this is the Dist::...:Alien(3pm) manual, bestie, and it’s user-contributed Perl documentation for Dist::Build::XS::Alien — a Dist::Build extension to use Alien modules. no cap, it’s giving build-system fairy godmother energy. 🧚✨

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.028. that’s the number, periodt. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole vibe is literally this:

load_extension('Dist::Build::XS');
load_extension('Dist::Build::XS::Alien');

add_xs(
    module => 'Foo::Bar',
    alien  => 'xz',
);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this module is an extension of Dist::Build::XS, and it adds an additional argument to the add_xs function: alien (or alternatively, external). iconic. ✨

It will add the appropriate arguments for that alien module to the build. 🫶

It can be either a string or a list of strings. fr fr.

If the strings don’t contain ::, they’re prepended with 'Alien::' before the module is loaded. iykyk. 💖
