in thread How to make a module ready for public release?

OK, but, don't they have to read my module, see which other modules it requires, etc., in order to create the correct Makefile.pl and so on? Or is all that done at installation time? As you can see I know very little about the make process.

    No. You need to edit the created Makefile.PL (or, better, Build.PL) to add in the dependencies and stuff like that.

    My recommendation would be:

    1. Install Module::Starter
    2. Start a new module (in a different directory) with the same name as your module - that will give you all of the scaffolding required)
    3. Edit the files to add in your code and make any other required changes
