Hi,

"Is there an easier alternative to these two?"

I can't say whether it's easier, not having used your toolkit, but I am a big fan of Dist::Zilla. Yes it is intimidating at first glance and you'd have a steeep learning curve if trying to go from scratch with the doc (as I once did) ... but there's no need to with the many great examples of .ini files out there. My own now very stable one is based on David A Golden's. You're welcome to copy it as I did his.

With the ini file I've developed, my workflow for a new release is very painless and fast. I just have to commit the work and a Change note and run the program; versioning bumping, git tagging and pushing, etc all rolled in. The distribution ships with a standard Makefile.

I see a lot of threads about distro release/build woes, and most often folks eschew the D::Z option because of perceived diffculty. It's nothing but smooth sailing for me :-)

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
