> Module::Build was long the official heir apparent to MakeMaker. The rate of both its development and adoption has slowed in recent years, though, and it is unclear what the future holds for it. That said, Module::Build set the stage for something to become the heir to MakeMaker. MakeMaker's maintainers have long said that it is a dead end and should be kept functioning, but not extended with new features. It's complicated enough as it is!
For all practical purposes there is a way out. Read on.
===== 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.
