 Looking at 
 https://metacpan.org/release/CAPOEIRAB/Alien-Sodium-2.000/source 
 lib/Alien/Sodium.pm 
 is says it wraps libsodium from https://doc.libsodium.org/ . The good news 
 is that libsodium is already in Debian, perhaps try adding libsodium23 as a 
 dependency and maybe libsodium-dev as a build-dep? 
  
 Cheers, 
 Andrew
