=head1 NAME

Alien::Util - Alien Utilities used at build and runtime

=head1 VERSION

version 2.80

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Alien::Util qw( version_cmp );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module contains some functions used by both the L<Alien::Build> build-time and <Alien::Base>
run-time for Alien.

=head2 version_cmp

  $cmp = version_cmp($x, $y)

Comparison method used by L<Alien::Base/atleast_version>, L<Alien::Base/exact_version> and
L<Alien::Base/max_version>. May be useful to implement custom comparisons, or for
subclasses to overload to get different version comparison semantics than the
default rules, for packages that have some other rules than the F<pkg-config>
behaviour.

Should return a number less than, equal to, or greater than zero; similar in
behaviour to the C<< <=> >> and C<cmp> operators.
