       If  you are using the string or array mode, then you need an existing Prefer plugin that sets the version
       number for each file candidate, such as Alien::Build::Plugin::Prefer::SortVersions.

       Unless you want to exclude the latest version from a share install, this plugin isn't really that useful.
       It has no effect on system installs, which may not be obvious at first.

       This plugin allows you to specify one or more good versions of a library.  This doesn't affect a system
       install at all.  This plugin does the opposite of the "Prefer::BadVersion" plugin.  You need need a
       Prefer plugin that filters and sorts files first.  You may specify the filter in one of three ways:

       as a string
           Filter any files that match the given version.

            use alienfile;
            plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3';

       as an array
           Filter all files that match any of the given versions.

            use alienfile;
            plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => [ '1.2.3', '1.2.4' ];

       as a code reference
           Filter any files return a true value.

            use alienfile;
            plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => sub {
              my($file) = @_;
              $file->{version} eq '1.2.3'; # same as the string version above
            };

       This  plugin  can  also  be  used  to  filter known good versions of a library on just one platform.  For
       example, if you know that version 1.2.3 if good on windows, but  the  default  logic  is  fine  on  other
       platforms:

        use alienfile;
        plugin 'Prefer::GoodVersion' => '1.2.3' if $^O eq 'MSWin32';
