Not sure what the best practice is, but the common practice is to have Devel::CheckLib handle the checking for the presence of the 3rd party library. In the event that the 3rd party library cannot be located I think you want the 'perl Makefile.pl' process to 'exit 0' - or you could perhaps set things up so that the 3rd party lib is then fetched via Alien:: , in which case the build can then go ahead.
