I also recommend reading perlnewmod. It is also worth reading perlmod and perlmodlib for general information about writing modules, versions, the CPAN, etc

Depending on your coding style, you may find ExtUtils::ModuleMaker useful.

update: Sorry lachoy, I meant this as a reply to root doc. God, I haven't done that in a while!

update 2: Just posted a review of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker with sample code. BTW, if you use Make.pm on Win32, it will do a make dist.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
