in reply to Is there a tool like h2xs which works with Module::Build ?

Please use Super Search, it is really helpful. Read Module::Build article on perl.com, MakeMaker is doomed for comments by merlyn on Module::Build, then check Collecting MakeMaker recipes for a link provided by IlyaM to an article in Matts's journal about living without h2xs.

    The stuff in Matt's journal is fine for an expert to remember, or recreate from first principles.

    But we really need a tool to do that, so I can tell beginners "this is how to make a module, really quickly".

    We sorta have one in the current magical "h2xs -XAn mod::ule::name" phrase that I teach people. But if that's flawed, let's fix that. Not just sidestep it.

    Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.

      A while back, I sent Geoff Avery a patch to add support for Module::Build to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, but I haven't heard back from him.
