 use Alien::Base::Wrapper ();

WriteMakefile(
   Alien::Base::Wrapper->new('Alien::Libxml2')->mm_args2(
     # MakeMaker args
     NAME => 'My::XS',
     ...
   ),
 );

In your Build.PL:

use Module::Build;
 use Alien::Base::Wrapper qw( Alien::Libxml2 !export );

my $builder = Module::Build->new(
   ...
   configure_requires => {
     'Alien::Libxml2' => '0',
     ...
   },
   Alien::Base::Wrapper->mb_args,
   ...
 );

$build->create_build_script;

In your L<FFI::Platypus> script or module:

use FFI::Platypus;
 use Alien::Libxml2;

my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new(
   lib => [ Alien::Libxml2->dynamic_libs ],
 );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides C<libxml2> for other modules to use.

=head1 CAVEATS

There was an older existing L<Alien::LibXML>, but it uses the older
L<Alien::Build::ModuleBuild> and the author prefers this version which
is based on the more robust L<alienfile> system.

C<libxml2> has some optional prereqs, including C<zlib> and C<iconv>.
For a C<share> install you will want to make sure that these are installed
prior to installing L<Alien::Libxml2> if you want to make use of features
relying on them.

For a system install, you want to make sure the development packages for
C<libxml2>, C<zlib> and C<iconv> are installed if C<libxml2> has been
configured to use them, otherwise L<XML::LibXML> will not install as
expected.  If the tests for this module fail with a missing C<iconv.h>
or C<zlib.h>, then this is likely the reason.
