Re: what format should Makefile.pl be and where is the list of attributes

[davido]

If you're building a distribution based on ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and you want to learn the nuts and bolts (which you should) before proceeding to use the convenience layers such as Module::Install and Dist::Zilla, there are three PODs that you should familiarize yourself with:

• ExtUtils::MakeMaker
• ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Tutorial
• CPAN::Meta::Spec

Also, Intermediate Perl can be helpful, and frankly, just looking at many of the thousands of both good and bad examples on CPAN itself.

Excellent this is the filter/pointer I was looking for.

Generally I've been scrounging many books on my kindle and just getting hands on dirty. But I was considering buy a physical copy of intermediate perl and studying it back and forth.
