Alt::Alien::FFI::System - Simplified alternative to Alien::FFI that uses system libffi

version 0.21

 env PERL_ALT_INSTALL=OVERWRITE cpanm Alt::Alien::FFI::System

This distribution provides an alternative implementation of Alien::FFI that is geared toward system integrators when libffi is provided by the operating system. It has no non-core requirements for runtime as of Perl 5.8. It now uses use Test::Alien for consistency with the original Alien::FFI.

It will NOT attempt to download or install libffi. If you need that, then install the original Alien::FFI instead.

Test::Alien is now part of Alien::Build, so if you need to run the tests, the prereqs aren't that much lighter than the real ALien::FFI, so you should consider:
