Version 0.43 of Perl extension ExtUtils::ModuleMaker is now available on CPAN (http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-ModuleMaker/) as is version 0.08 of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP (http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-ModuleMaker-PBP/).

ExtUtils::ModuleMaker was created by Geoff Avery and is a replacement for the most typical use of the h2xs utility bundled with all Perl distributions: the creation of the directories and files required for a pure-Perl module to be installable with make and distributable on CPAN.

ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::PBP subclasses ExtUtils::ModuleMaker to create the same type of distribution framework as its parent, but in the style recommended by Damian Conway in Perl Best Practices (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlbp/).

A more complete description of the new functionality provided by these extensions has been posted to comp.lang.perl.modules and may be viewed here: http://tinyurl.com/8nflb. This description is also available at: http://mysite.verizon.net/jkeen/perl/modules/ExtUtils-ModuleMaker/ANNOUNCE.html.

Many questions which I had in the course of developing these extensions were answered here in the Monastery. So kudos go out to ComradeBurnout, imacat, davidrw, tlm, CountZero, xdg, holli, TheDamian, nothingmuch, chromatic, dave_the_m, randyk and njh.

I hope you find these new extensions useful. Comments to jkeenan at cpan dot org.
