in thread Trying to build a module for upload to CPAN

But you raise the bar for anyone willing to come up with a patch.

I've seen not a single project using Dist::Zilla that does not requires (many) additional modules and plugins that won't be used for anything else and thus clutter *my* development box if I want to not only fix something, but also test it before I submit a PR.

Whereever possible, I will stick to ExtUtils::MakeMaker and it has so far never let me down.

And for all those that add scripts: add them to a folder (e.g. sandbox) in your git repo, so people trying to help you have them too. And document them in Makefile.PL or README.

My €0.02

Also read Release::Checklist for motivations.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    It's total excess; OTOH if one just gives in to the gluttony, it's them pretty easy for them to "do the needful". YMMV but your point is well taken.
