5.8.2's h2xs has yet some more changes. It's advisable to get hold of
this version of h2xs (it will run with older perls as well) because it
creates a directory-structure that is more in accordance with the
preferred style of CPAN modules:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ h2xs5.8.2 -b 5.6.0 -AX Wetware::Pid
Writing Wetware-Pid/lib/Wetware/Pid.pm
Writing Wetware-Pid/Makefile.PL
Writing Wetware-Pid/README
Writing Wetware-Pid/t/Wetware-Pid.t
Writing Wetware-Pid/Changes
Writing Wetware-Pid/MANIFEST
Furthermore, another thing I tend to keep up-to-date is
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. With a recent EU::MM and the conventional
perl Makefile.PL
make
make dist
a decent META.yml is created and added to the distribution.

I suppose that mixing styles can be done in a clever way. However,
obscenities such as the approach of CGI.pm really should be avoided.

I used to belong to the 'interleave pod and code' school but soon
changed that when I realized that there is no way to interleave POD into
XS files.
