NAME
make2build - create a Build.PL derived from Makefile.PL
SYNOPSIS
./make2build.pl # In the top level directory of an
# ExtUtils::MakeMaker based distribution DESCRIPTION
ExtUtils::MakeMaker has been a de-facto standard for the common distribution of Perl modules; Module::Build is expected to supersede ExtUtils::MakeMaker in some time. The transition takes place slowly, as the converting process manually achieved is yet an uncommon practice. This parser is intended to ease the transition process.

module_name license requires create_makefile_pl - prelude
-
Code that preceeds Module::Build arguments.
use Module::Build; my $b = Module::Build->new $INDENT( - epilogue
