I think you should take a look at Dist-Zilla ( http://dzil.org/ ; https://github.com/rjbs/dist-zilla/ ; https://metacpan.org/release/Dist-Zilla ) which seems to be what most modern Perl developers prefer. You can use it for executables using https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExecDir . Also note that I started working on https://github.com/shlomif/dzil-dist-ini-format-documentation but it may be lacking in part because there are several layers to the dist.ini parser and my breadcrumbs trail was getting longer.
