Some Perl modules need to ship C libraries together with their Perl code. Although there are mechanisms to compile and link (or glue) C code in your Perl programs, there isn't a clear method to compile standard, self-contained C libraries. This module main goal is to help in that task.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
