    In your script or module:

     use Alien::Libarchive3;
     use Env qw( @PATH );
     
     unshift @ENV, Alien::Libarchive3->bin_dir;

    In your FFI::Platypus script or module:

     use FFI::Platypus;

     );

DESCRIPTION

    This distribution provides libarchive 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 libarchive 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.

    The intention is for this to eventually replace Alien::Libarchive
