NAME

Alien::NSS - Alien wrapper for NSS ( Network Security Services )

DESCRIPTION

This library provides an alien wrapper for NSS, the cryptographic library that is ( among others ) used in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use warnings;

use Module::Build;
use Alien::NSS;

my $cflags = Alien::NSS->cflags;
my $ldflags = Alien::NSS->libs;

my $builder = Module::Build->new(
  module_name => 'my_lib',
  extra_compiler_flags => $cflags,
  extra_linker_flags => $ldflags,
  configure_requires => {
    'Alien::NSS => 0
  },
);

$builder->create_build_script;

INSTALLATION

Alien::NSS uses the Module::Build system for installation. The usual build process is

perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

Build Flags

When running perl Build.PL, certain command line flags may be passed:

--help

Print all possible additional command line parameters for Building Alien::NSS

--version=3_17_2

Specify the NSS version that should be installed. In this example, 3.17.2.

--patchnss

Apply a patch that deactivates CRL caching and checking during verification. This prevents certain problems when trying to load a high number of certificates into NSS. Apply only if you understand the consequences.
