Use of Module::Install for new distributions is therefore discouraged by the maintainers. . Module::Install is a package for writing installers for CPAN (or CPAN-like) distributions that are clean, simple, minimalist, act in a strictly correct manner with ExtUtils::MakeMaker. It will run on any Perl installation version 5.005 or newer. . It is designed to automatically include a copy of itself with modules that use it, thus ensuring that bleeding-edge features will be available for use in Makefile.PL in a simple and portable way. It is simple to learn, and has the same features as ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build. However, it has the advantage that it requires no installation for end-users.
