Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::Prompt 
Alien::Build plugin to prompt a user before making external download
SYNOPSIS
In your ~/.alienbuild/rc.pl
preload 'Fetch::Prompt';
1;
DESCRIPTION
This plugin allows you to force Alien::Build to prompt the user and ask for permission
before downloading anything from the internet. It uses the ExtUtils::MakeMaker prompt
function, so that it will do the sensible thing, like not infinitely halt install on
non-interactive installs. The default response is yes, which is usually reasonable
(and the default if you do not use this plugin at all), but you may change this by using
the ALIEN_DOWNLOAD environment variable (see below).
ENVIRONMENT
ALIEN_DOWNLOAD
Set this environment variable to the default response. Should be either yes or no.
CAVEATS
This plugin depends on the alienfile using the appropriate channels for downloading external
libraries. It is perfectly legal to write a alienfile that downloads using an external
program like wget or curl, or not go through the normal fetch plugin. There is also
nothing stopping someone from doing something nefarious when installing a cpan module. If you
have strict security requirements you really should audit the alienfile and other Perl code
that you are using.
