If you just want to compress or decompress bzip2 data in Perl you probably want one of Compress::Bzip2, Compress::Raw::Bzip2 or IO::Compress::Bzip2.
This distribution installs bz2 so that it can be used by other Perl distributions. If already installed for your operating system, and it can be found, this distribution will use the bz2 that comes with your operating system, otherwise it will download it from the internet, build and install it.
If you set the environment variable ALIEN_BZ2 to 'share', this distribution will ignore any system bz2 found, and build from source instead. This may be desirable if your operating system comes with a very old version of bz2 and an upgrade path for the system bz2 is not possible.
Returns the C compiler flags necessary to build against bz2.
Returns flags as a list in list context and combined into a string in scalar context.
Returns the library flags necessary to build against bz2.
Returns a list of dynamic libraries (usually a list of just one library) that make up bz2. This can be used for FFI::Raw.
Returns just the first dynamic library found in scalar context.
Returns the install type, one of either system or share.
