Hi all,

I've been investigating Dist::Zilla because it looks like it could be useful module. I have been through the docs but I must have missed something along the way.

Recently, Matt Trout gave a talk about most of us not being enough to contribute anything but dumb (obvious) questions to CPAN distributions. So here's mine:

How do I create My::Awesome::App from scratch?

With Module::Starter it would go something like:

module-starter --module My::Awesome::App

I assumed the Dist::Zilla equivalent would be:

dzil new My::Awesome::App

But that appears to throw an error.

shell:~/Desktop/dist-zilla$ dzil new My::Awesome::App
ARRAY(0x8bc4cbc)
Can't call method "flatten" on an undefined value at /home/j1n3l0/Appl
+ications/perl/5.10.0/lib/site_perl/5.10.0/Dist/Zilla/App.pm line 35.

So can anyone tell this dumbass exactly what he is missing =)

Smoothie, smoothie, hundre prosent naturlig!

In reply to Dist::Zilla ... I'm not good enough (obviously) by j1n3l0
