===== Module::Starter =====
This could be the end of the story were it not for CPAN. A package needs more than just a ''Build.PL'' (or ''Makefile.PL'') file before it can be submitted to the CPAN. You need to add at least ''MANIFEST'', ''META.yml'' (or ''META.json'', or ''META.yaml'', or ...), ''LICENSE'', and ''README'' or some variations thereof. This can be a bit daunting so ''[[https://github.com/xsawyerx/module-starter|Module::Starter]]'' was written with the ''[[https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Module-Starter/bin/module-starter|module-starter]]'' command line tool.
''module-starter'' will create a skeleton of a Perl package. You can choose between ''Module::Build'' and ''ExtUtils::MakeMaker'' and set a few other options. Once created you can change the files the way you want them to be and do the actual work of writing the code and documentation that makes up your package.
''Module::Starter'' does in now way obsolete ''Module::Build'' but rather gives you a head start to use it properly for CPAN conforming Perl packages.
