# ALIEN DESCRIPTION
# ALIEN SEE ALSO

DESCRIPTION

This plugin generates some boiler plat documentation for your Alien::Base based Alien module. It will find the special codes ALIEN SYNOPSIS, ALIEN DESCRIPTION, and ALIEN SEE ALSO and replace them with the appropriate boilerplate POD documentation for how to use the module. The generated synopsis and see also sections are probably good enough as is. The description is a little more basic, and you may want to write a more detailed description yourself. It is, at least, better than nothing though!

DESCRIPTION

This distribution provides {{ $name }} so that it can be used by other Perl distributions that are on CPAN. It does this by first trying to detect an existing install of {{ $name }} on your system. If found it will use that. If it cannot be found, the source code will be downloaded from the internet and it will be installed in a private share location for the use of other modules.
