How do I create a standard Perl module intended for distribution? As I've said before, I am rewriting MyLibrary in an object-oriented manner. In this new incarnation there will many smaller packages as opposed to one huge one.
Since I want to create this module in the most Perl-standard fashion, I need to have things like a MANIFEST file, a Makefile.PL, a t directory, a README file, etc. My Perl Cookbook says I should use this command to initialize my project: h2xs -XA -n MyLibrary Fine, but I never expect to have an actual package named MyLibrary.pm. Consequently, I could do this: h2xs -XA -n MyLibrary::Librarian Unfortunately, this invocation creates a Librarian directory with all the necessary files, and if I were to do this for each of my packages, then I would have bunches o' MANIFESTs to keep up with. Non-standard. Assuming my MyLibrary module is going to have many sub-packages, how do I create the skeleton of my module with the h2xs command? -- Eric Lease Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame
