+Description: module for checking the availability of a library
  Devel::CheckLib is a perl module that checks whether a particular C library
  and its headers are available.
+ .
+ It works by trying to compile some code and linking it to the specified
+ libraries. If something pops out the end which looks executable, it gets
+ executed. That tiny program is built once for each specified library, and
+ (without linking) once for each header file.
+ .
+ It is also possible to check for the presence of particular functions in a
+ library, or even that those functions return particular results.
