Re: Alternatives to Module::Starter

Like many others, I started with some sort of module starter (which I don't remember now). But after spending much time hanging out on CPAN, I've learned to trim off the excess fat needed for a CPAN package.

Looking back, I think it would have been fine if I found a bare boiler plate package to start. Just start somewhere and improve on it. So here's to helping my past self...

I've added a script to my public scratchpad that creates a basic Kwalitee-compliant, semantic-versioned package for a pure-Perl module. Among other things, it shows how to specify minimum version requirements for Perl and dependency modules, as well as barring tests from running on certain platforms.

Grep for 'XXX' to change. After modifications to XXX-Module-1.001001/*, one can create the dist package with the following commands:

    cd XXX-Module-1.001001;
    perl Makefile.PL;
    make disttest tardist;
    ls -l XXX-Module-1.001001.tar.gz;  # submit this to PAUSE

I'm down to just: cd ~/src/p5/p5-my-module perl-makeall perl-publish My-Module-1.000.tar.gz `perl-makeall` is a shell alias for `perl Makefile.PL && make all test dist && make clean && rm Makefile.old`. `perl-publish` is an alias for `sudo cpanm $1 && cpan-upload $1 && mv $1 ~/perl5/published/`.
