From: PerlFAQ Server on 21 Apr 2010 06:00 This is an excerpt from the latest version perlfaq7.pod, which comes with the standard Perl distribution. These postings aim to reduce the number of repeated questions as well as allow the community to review and update the answers. The latest version of the complete perlfaq is at http://faq.perl.org . -------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.9: How do I create a module? (contributed by brian d foy) perlmod, perlmodlib, perlmodstyle explain modules in all the gory details. perlnewmod gives a brief overview of the process along with a couple of suggestions about style. If you need to include C code or C library interfaces in your module, you'll need h2xs. h2xs will create the module distribution structure and the initial interface files you'll need. perlxs and perlxstut explain the details. If you don't need to use C code, other tools such as ExtUtils::ModuleMaker and Module::Starter, can help you create a skeleton module distribution. You may also want to see Sam Tregar's "Writing Perl Modules for CPAN" ( http://apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=14 ) which is the best hands-on guide to creating module distributions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up, so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms. Working code is greatly appreciated. If you'd like to help maintain the perlfaq, see the details in perlfaq.pod.
