in reply to What's your Module Template

I use a 'new.pl' script, which is basically just a thin wrapper around ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. I use the same script to generate script boilerplate too, but have to create this from a template, which has GetOpt::Long, --help and the other usual suspects pre-coded. It'd be nice if there were a CPAN module that did for scripts what ExtUtils::ModuleMaker does for modules, but I've yet to find (or I suppose, write) one.

    I've been using ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::TT (which I wrote). It extends ExtUtils::ModuleMaker to use the Template Toolkit skeletons for the files it builds. It should be easy to create a "modulino" template for more script-like skeleton that could be called with a command line config-file option.

    It's been a little fragile lately given the great (and long-overdue) overhaul that jkeenan1 has just given to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, but I just released a fresh version to CPAN this morning that is compatible with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker 0.39 and I'll be eliminating some code smells in the next couple weeks.
