I don't think perlnewmod's job is tell what "current Best Practices" is, despite a mention of those very words in the text. I think it's to present a reasonably stable answer that points rookies in the right direction to get their feet wet. If anything's missing in perlnewmod, it's discussion of of EU::MM and why it exists and how module-starter and h2xs just create the basic EU::MM Makefile.PL for you. There's no mention of EU::MM anywhere except in the SEE ALSO section. There's nothing saying that "EU::MM is the standard, basic way of creating module distributions", and explaining what Makefile.PL is and how it's used for. It doesn't say "Makefile.PL uses EU::MM to create a Makefile, etc etc etc". -- Andy Lester => www.petdance.comThread Previous | Thread Next
