Module::Build 0.2808

Module::Build is a Perl module for build and install Perl modules.

SYNOPSIS

Standard process for building & installing modules:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
Or, if youre on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesnt require the "./" notation, you can do this:
perl Build.PL
Build
Build test
Build install

Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be an alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with MakeMaker.

It also does not require a make on your system - most of the Module::Build code is pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. In fact, you dont even need a shell, so even platforms like MacOS (traditional) can use it fairly easily. Its only prerequisites are modules that are included with perl 5.6.0, and it works fine on perl 5.005 if you can install a few additional modules.
