Ok, so using Module::Starter with Module::Install would be a good choice because Module::Starter also creates some simple test files and they may be a big part of the tests for very simple modules. Do you know if there is a way to do the same thing with Dist::Zilla? Dist::Zilla is great, but it doesn't create those simple test files. Is there a plugin for it that can do this? > Module::Build -- this is the 'pure perl' alternative.

As a conclusion, for the moment my prefered way would be to use Module-Starter with M::I for simple apps and Dist::Zilla with its default EU::MM for more complex apps. Thank you. Octavian
