 Hi guys,

I have created an application in perl and I would like to know if
there is any easy way or where to look at to generate the Makefile.pl
and all the normal structure you see when you download a package from
CPAN.

The application won't write the modules on the perl library folder but
in the local destiny folder.

ie:
ChangeLog README conf
MANIFEST docs
Makefile.PL bin scripts util

What tool do you use normally to generate this structure or where can
I get some information. I have searched in google for Make makefile I
get too many hits.

Thanks for your help
J

ExtUtils::MakeMaker

You might also take a look at Module::MakeDist from Savage Software:
http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules/html/Module/MakeDist.html
I haven't tried it myself, but it claims to help make Perl module
distributions for both UNIXish and ActiveState (Windowsish) Perl
environments.

Regards,
Bill K.

I use Module::Build for my CPAN stuff; it can easily be configured to install
scripts etc.

Download, install and have a look at the POD - it explains it far more clearly
than I could.
