CPAN Module Distributions

As an example, I'll create a module distribution for a fictitious module called 

Data::Counter. To use h2xs to generate the module skeleton for Data::Counter, 

I use the following command:

h2xs  XA  n Data::Counter

This command creates the directory structure shown in Figure 4 1 and Table 4 1 

beneath the directory where the command was run. The  X option tells h2xs not to 

generate any XS files and the  A option causes h2xs to omit Autoloader support. 

The  n option tells h2xs the name of the module to be created. h2xs uses the module 

name to create a directory to hold the generated files.
