I was using module::release, found it to be an utter pain to attempt to configure and test (because you had to write code to configure it) without generating spurious releases. So, I wrote my own tool, which I happily use on all of my dists and it happens to do a great job of releasing M::B too. If I thought M::R could be suitably modified, I would have started there, but I concluded that everything I had seen had the wrong premise about configuration and customization. And no, I can't live without config overlays. Well maybe, but I have to have support for testpod, testpodcoverage, check_meta_author, check_changes or ... oh, just read the config: https://svn.perl.org/modules/Module-Build/trunk/.perl_developer.yml I would like it if M::B would actually pass kwalitee and testpodcoverage. Like I said, I'm not married to this for publishing M::B, but I'm not available to hack on anything right now and M::R would be a regression - at least from the last time I looked at it. --Eric -- hobgoblin n 1: (folklore) a small grotesque supernatural creature that makes trouble for human beings --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
