Re^2: Module for setting up configuration file during module installation

The first link doesn't work. And I don't know enough about MakeMaker files to really know how to write my own to run a configuration script with the second module you linked to, unfortunately.

It should have been https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#prompt. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

The first link is to a function `prompt()` provided in `ExtUtils::MakeMaker`. Didn't the lower casing of the last element indicate that? Did you look at the doc for EU::MM to find it? I've corrected the URL now, thanks Athanasius. The second link is to a `dzil` plugin that allows you to create a custom `Makefile` script, which would incorporate the prompting for input you wanted. If you're not willing to use it because you "don't know enough about it", then I don't know what can be done other than put in the effort to learn about it. Shrug. (The same author released Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuild::Custom if you use `Module::Build`, but I am not aware of a built-in way to prompt for user information.) The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
