[Israel.pm] Making A CPAN module

[Gabor Szabo]

Why not take a look at an existing module and how is it done there?
Most of the things you mentioned are automated so you only need
to describe a few things.

BTW Personally I prefer to  write Build.PL files ( Module::Build )
and then generate the Makefile.PL files automatically.

You can take a look at one of my modules e.g here
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Pipe/
though this one does not have any compilations.

and here is another module (of Graham Barr ) with some XS foo
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Scalar-List-Utils/
