=item set C<alien_provides_cflags> and C<alien_provides_libs> in C<Build.PL>.

Add something like this to your C<Build.PL>:

 # Build.PL
 use lib 'inc';
 use My::ModuleBuild;
 
 My::ModuleBuild->new(
   ...
   alien_provides_cflags => '-I/usr/include/foo',
   alien_provides_libs   => '-L/usr/lib/foo -lfoo',
   ...
 );

Note that it is frequently sufficient to provide C<alien_provides_libs> and the appropriate C<-l> flag.

=head2 Can/Should I write a tool oriented Alien module using C<Alien::Base> that provides executables instead of a library?

Certainly.  The original intent was to provide libraries, but tools are also quite doable using the
C<Alien::Base> tool set.  A simple minded example of this which is fairly easy to replicate is L<Alien::m4>.

In general, this means specifying a subclass in your C<Build.PL> and bundling it in your distribution C<inc> directory.

C<Build.PL>:

 ...
 use lib 'inc';
 use My::ModuleBuild;
 
 My::ModuleBuild->new(
   ...
 )->create_build_script;

C<inc/My/ModuleBuild.pm>:

 package My::ModuleBuild;
