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

"But AFAIK is makefile.pl only relevant when installing from CPAN on the client side."

Not necessarily if it's part of the make dist routine. The README will get created inside of the repo, and if the file is already added to git, it'll show up in Github because it's generated prior to creating the tarball. It'll also have to be included in the MANIFEST.

At least that's what I envisioned the desire to be.

    That means every time he want's to push his commits to GitHub he'll need to run make dist first?

    update

    I suppose it's possible to hook into git for that automation?

      No, the rule can be added to any make targets you want through the power of Makefile dependencies.
