Re^2: creating META.yml with Module::Build

I've got:

Module::Build 0.38
ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.55_02

which is what comes bundled with Fedora 13. Upgrading to ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.62 with CPAN and META.yml and META.json appear when I ./Build dist.

Now that you've solved the problem, tell me what's your favourite module creation tool. I chose Module::Build over Module::Install (IIRC) for some reason I can't remember, I think because it was pure Perl.

best,

perl -e 'print qq(Just another Perl Hacker\n)' # where's the irony switch?

Well, use what works for you, I simply don't see why the Module::Build maintainers could not write a META file, they invented it I do like Module::Install, and yes, it is built on top of Module::Build	[reply]

Module::Install is primarily built on top of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, not Module::Build. (Though it does use Module::Build to help auto-generate the 'provides' lists for META.yml files.) Personally, I like Module::Package which is built on top of Module::Install.	[reply]
