G'day peteyboy,

Welcome to the Monastery.

I would suggest looking at how others have done this in the past and adapting their efforts to your needs.

The first one that immediately came to mind was Regexp::Debugger. I've been using this for over a decade and have installed it (without problems) with every new version of Perl I've installed.

• See its distribution page: Regexp-Debugger.
• Along with the module, it installs a script called rxrx.
• It allows for installation using both ExtUtils::MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) and Module::Build (Build.PL).
• Its author is the eminent Damian Conway (aka our esteemed monk TheDamian). You're guaranteed a high level of quality.

This alone may be sufficient for your needs; however, there would be many other distributions which also include scripts.

For creating your distribution, you might look at Module::Starter whose installation includes the script module-starter. Its installation only uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker (Makefile.PL); however, the distributions you create with module-starter can use other (or even multiple) builders.
