It is modeled heavily on Devel::CheckLib, but will find dynamic libraries even when development packages are not installed. It also provides a find_lib function that will return the full path to the found dynamic library, which can be feed directly into FFI::Platypus or FFI::Raw. . Although intended mainly for FFI modules via FFI::Platypus and similar, this module does not actually use any FFI to do its detection and probing.
