Many Perl distributions use a Build.PL file instead of a Makefile.PL file
|
|
|
|
|
to drive distribution configuration, build, test and installation.
|
|
|
|
|
Traditionally, Build.PL uses Module::Build as the underlying build system.
|
|
|
|
|
This module provides a simple, lightweight, drop-in replacement. Whereas
|
|
|
|
|
Module::Build has over 6,700 lines of code; this module has less than 120,

|
