Acme::Ford::Prefect2::FFI

FFI test module for Alien::Base

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::Ford::Prefect2::FFI;

my $answer = Acme::Ford::Prefect2::FFI::answer(); # == 42 of course

DESCRIPTION

Alien::Base comprises base classes to help in the construction of Alien:: modules. Modules in the Alien namespace are used to locate and install (if necessary) external libraries needed by other Perl modules.

This module is a toy module to test the efficacy of the Alien::Base system with its experimental FFI interfaces. This module depends on another toy module Acme::Alien::DontPanic2 which provides the needed libdontpanic library to be able to tell us the answer to life, the universe and everything.
