.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
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 \s-1NOT\s0 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:
