  Description     : yet another assertion keyword

 PerlX::Assert is a framework for embedding assertions in Perl code.
 Under normal circumstances, assertions are not checked; they are
 optimized away at compile time.
 .
 However if, at compile time, any of the following environment variables
 is true, assertions are checked, and if they fail, throw an exception.
 .
  - PERL_STRICT
  - AUTHOR_TESTING
  - EXTENDED_TESTING
  - RELEASE_TESTING
 .
 That is, assertions will only typically be checked when the test suite
 is being run on the authors' machine, or otherwise opted into.

Packaging will be maintained in the perl team.

Package is needed by libmoops-perl.
