+Alien::Build::Manual::Alien - General alien author documentation
+
+=head1 VERSION
+
+version 2.38
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ perldoc Alien::Build::Manual::Alien
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The goal of the L<Alien> namespace is to provide non-CPAN dependencies (so called "Alien" dependencies) for
+CPAN modules. The history and intent of this idea is documented in the documentation-only L<Alien> module.
+The C<Alien-Build> distribution provides a framework for building aliens. The intent is to fix bugs and
+enhance the interface of a number of common tools so that all aliens may benefit. The distribution is broken
+up into these parts:

+
+=item The Alien Installer (configure / build-time)
+
+L<Alien::Build> and L<alienfile> are used to detect and install aliens. They are further documented in
+L<Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor>.
+
+=item The Alien Runtime (runtime)
+
+L<Alien::Base> is the base class for aliens in the C<Alien-Build> system. Its use by Alien consumers
+is documented in L<Alien::Build::Manual::AlienUser>.
+
+=item The Plugin system (configure / build-time)
+
+Because many packages are implemented using different tools, the detection, build and install logic
+for a particular L<Alien> can vary a lot.  As such, much of L<Alien::Build> is implemented as a
+series of plugins that inherit from L<Alien::Build::Plugin>.  An overview of building your own
+plugins is documented in L<Alien::Build::Manual::PluginAuthor>.
