Re^4: let Makefile.PL to do the Readme file for me -- new target?

in thread let Makefile.PL to do the Readme file for me -- new target?

Yes, my make dist refered to Autotools' which does creates an end-user, client-side, Makefile. Automatically.

But since you mentioned make dist in the context of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, my question is whether it creates a new Makefile.PL tailored-made for the client-side. AFAIK it just copies verbatim the original Makefile.PL into a dist tarball. Which is not the functionality Autotools provides and I referred to. *Edit*: So nothing contradictory.

    No, it does not. The same Makefile.PL is (or if you prefer, "can be") used both by the author and by the end-user.
