in reply to Re^2: 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?

Isn't it a scaffolding tool, providing me with the initial base dirs and files for a dist?

Can I run it to change an already existing distribution?

As I understood the OP he wants to automatically update README.pod with content from Module.pod (at least that's what I want to do)

    No, Module::Starter is a scaffolding tool. ExtUtils::MakeMaker is an install and authoring tool. Generating files in the source tree or the distribution build is one function of authoring tools.
