The search service can find package by either name (apache), provides(webserver), absolute file names (/usr/bin/apache), binaries (gprof) or shared libraries (libXm.so.2) in standard path. It does not support multiple arguments yet...
The System and Arch are optional added filters, for example System could be "redhat", "redhat-7.2", "mandrake" or "gnome", Arch could be "i386" or "src", etc. depending on your system.
Some packages insist on using GNU Make. Some platforms refuse to come with GNU Make. Sometimes you just want to be able to build packages that require GNU Make without having to check the version of Make each time. This module is for that. It uses the system provided GNU Make if it can be found. Otherwise it will download and install it into a directory not normally in your path so that it can be used when you 'use Alien::gmake'. This way you can use it when you need it, but not muck up your environment when you don't. If possible, it is better to fix the package so that it doesn't require GNU make extensions, making it more portable. Unfortunately, sometimes this isn't an option. This class is a subclass of the Alien::Base manpage, so all of the methods documented there should work with this class.
