Authoring Perl Modules

This topic is inspired by the PythonTestingToolsTaxonomy, because I'm currently drowning in ways to start, install, author, yadayada perl modules, despite how long I've been doing it. If I'm confused, so must others!

by script

Script	Module	Notes
module-starter	Module::Starter	offers Module::Install integration, can also be setup to work with Perl Best Practices template
modulemaker	ExtUtils::ModuleMaker	needed for XS
h2xs		obsolete

by resource

Tutorial	date	author	What it discusses	Which modules/programs it covers
Starting a module with Module::Starter	Perl Training Australia	Oct 15, 2008	A quick overview of module creation using `module-starter` and, thanks the stars, `Module::Install`. Combined with the older stuff, you'll have a fighting chance of getting it right...	module-starter, Module::Install, Perl::Critic, and Test::Kwalitee
Jos�'s Guide for creating Perl modules	Feb 16, 2005	cog	An end-to-end process for creating perl modules, covers module-starter, but 4 years out of date.	ExtUtils::ModuleMaker
Creating Module Distributions with Module::Install	June 2003	Brian Ingerson	Written as a combination what-is-Module-Install and intro-to-using-Module-Install back when Module-Install was first launched, the article is only really helpful once you have wrapped your head around using Module-Install :-/.	Module::Install, Module::Build, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and a partridge in a pear tree
How to make a CPAN Module Distribution	Apr 14, 2002	tachyon	The last of tachyon's module tutorials. Predates behavior-driven development, though, so use the update in the perl distribution, or Jose's Guide, instead.
Simple Module Tutorial	Aug 06, 2001	tachyon	This tutorial walks you through the actual module (the .pm file), not through the rest of the development environment. It's really useful, as it goes through each of the elements of the module in great gory detail.	Exporter
A Guide to Installing Modules	Nov 28, 2001	tachyon	This tutorial focuses on the installation process itself.	CPAN and PPM. The tutorial is too old to cover CPANPLUS.
ExtUtils::ModuleMaker
