Module::Build (O'Reilly)

[Posted February 19, 2003 by cook]

Dave Rolsky writes about Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker on O'Reilly. "If you've ever created a Perl module for distribution on CPAN, you've used the ExtUtils::MakeMaker module. This venerable module goes back to the dawn of modern Perl, which began with the release of Perl 5.000. Recently, Ken Williams has created a potential replacement for ExtUtils::MakeMaker called Module::Build, which was first released in August of 2002."
