If nothing is required on the end-user (not the module author) in order to contribute, there is absolutely no harm in using whatever system!

People are used to basic git commands now, and if I where to contribute to Foo::Bar, my routine would do:

$ git clone https://url/to/Foo-Bar Foo-Bar-git
$ cd Foo-Bar-git
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ make
$ make test
$ make install

I start cursing when there is no Makefile.PL but instead there is a Build.PL as I really, just like Hugo, hate it. But at least it does not require me to install anything else, as Module::Build is part of the core. There must be realy good reasons to choose it over ExtUtils::MakeMaker. But tastes differ.

On the other hand, systems liek dzil and others make it impossible to start working on a git checkout, as there is neither and the poor end-user is expected to install a truckload of modules and plugins that they are unlikely to ever use again.

So, if Minilla does not exactly what I describe (of course *not* choosing Module::Build), then I see no disadvantages in using it as a developer.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
