Module::Starter 1.44 is first update in two years

Module::Starter 1.44 has been released, and it's been a long time coming. Module::Starter makes it trivial to start a new CPAN distribution, without having to create the parts from memory from scratch, or cutting & pasting from an existing module. Where the standard h2xs tool that ships with Perl creates the .pm file for you, Module::Starter creates an entire distribution.

In the two years since the last non-developer release, features added include:

  • Improved support for Perl::Critic
  • Now easier to build your own Module::Starter extensions
  • Support for Module::Install
  • Improved test suite

Thanks to Ricardo Signes for picking up my slack on this. Although I originally wrote Module::Starter, it's more Ricardo's work than mine at this point.
