Well, where do we draw the line? Alien::GNUmake? Alien::GCC?
We can't supply a new C compiler just for building XS extensions,
because it has to be the same C compiler as
I think the line should be drawn at my
original proposal (document platforms
where the Alien::XXX works or doesn't
work, and add detect/configure/use a
pre-installed XXX rather than have the
default action be a forced install).
The idea is to simplify the process of
writing a useful Alien module

Hi Artur-
Inspired by some difficulties I've had implementing
and using Alien modules I've made some proposals
for updating the Alien manifesto based on some
current best practices that aren't spelled out and
some other ideas that I believe would be a big
improvement to the Alien artform.
I'm

There is already Regexp-Genex which portrays itself as a generator for
regexes, but its functionality is different from your module, so it's
a good idea to prevent confusion and avoid that overlap, generator.
To generate is about as useful

Maybe it would be useful to carve out OS specific packages under the
Alien:: moniker. What about Alien::Unix::libtermkey ?
Yeah, that’ll work great until the moment someone supports three OSes.
Or supports all OSes except a specific

Or only recent versions of an OS…

Agreed, that idea doesn't work. I think the proposed
improved best effort docs and FAIL if the Alien::XXX
could not detect or install then configure XXX is a better
approach.
Thanks for the reply,
Chris
