Simplest Makefile.PL Inventor 07-27-2007

Hi, I've got a cute little ASCII plotting module that I'd like to
release to CPAN, but I don't know how to create a Makefile.PL file.
I've looked at some examples but they are too complex and confusing.
Could someone point me to some documentation or post a barebones
Makefile.PL? Thanks in advance.

Hi

h2xs will help you here. Perhaps:

h2xs -AX -n Your::Module::Something

gives a pretty basic tree complete with Makefile.PL which you can drop your
module into. It's CPAN compliant, indeed it's the recommended way.

Cheers

Tim

Hi

Glad it worked for you :)

Just for info, h2xs was really intended to generate skeletons for people
writing XS perl<->binary modules, but it got generalised... Hence the funky
and non-obvious name.

Cheers
