Compiling c executables from the Perl Module :: Build

Question

In this question about compiling c code in Module :: Build, it was suggested to use c_source to indicate the location of the c / C ++ source code.

This configuration parameter compiles the source into object files and adds the directory to the linker search path.

I would like to know if a similar configuration can be achieved where all .c files are compiled into standalone executables and installed next to bin/ scripts.

You can check out the Alien :: set module, which does a superset of what you want, I think. It seems like https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Base::Authoring is a good place to start.
