31             =head1 DESCRIPTION
32              
33             This L<Task> bundle is useful for those doing L<Alien> development. Installing it will give
34             you these modules:
35              
36             =over 4
37              
38             =item L<Alien::Build>
39              
40             Framework for writing L<Alien>s.
41              
42             =item L<Alien::MSYS>
43              
44             Is used on Windows to make autoconf style packages work.
45              
46             =item L<App::af>
47              
48             The C<af> command line application for working with L<alienfile>s.
49              
50             =item L<Dist::Zilla::MintingProfile::AlienBuild>
51              
52             The L<Dist::Zilla> minting profile for creating L<Alien::Build> based L<Alien>s.
53              
54             =item L<Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild>
55              
56             Some useful L<Dist::Zilla> plugins useful for developing L<Alien::Build> based L<Alien>s.
57              
58             =back
59              
60             The latest versions as of when this L<Task> was released should be installed at minimum if
61             they are not already installed.
62              
63             Other prereqs may be added in the future if they are deemed useful for L<Alien> development.
64              
65             =head1 CAVEATS
66              
67             This module does require Perl 5.22 or better currently because at least some of its prereqs
68             require that version. Note that L<Alien>s authored with these tools should work on Perls
69             of at least 5.8.4 or better, so this is just a I<development> requirement.
70              
71             This L<Task> indirectly requires both L<Alien::FFI> and L<Alien::Libarchive3>. If you do
72             not want to build them from source or do not have internet access where the build is
73             happening you will want to pre-install C<libffi> and C<libarchive>. On Debian based systems
74             you can do that with C<sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libarchive-dev>.
