How can I make Module::Build install both X and X::Y?

Question

If I have a distribution with X and X::Y also in it, how do I make Module::Build install both the modules? I have put X.pm in lib, written a file Build.PL with the line

my $build = Module::Build->new
    (
     module_name => "X",
 );

This installs X OK, but how do I tell Module::Build to also include X::Y in the distribution?

Answer 1

Module::Build should automatically find and install both modules, though you should indicate to it (in Build.PL) which one the distribution name/version is taken from.

Try creating your distribution with module-starter and let it worry about the details?

module-starter -mb --module=X --module=X::Y --author=Me [email protected]
