I'm starting to use Module::Install for my perl projects. There are some good reasons to use it:
- Extremely easy for beginners to learn
- Does everything ExtUtils::MakeMaker does.
- Does it with a dramatically simpler syntax.
- Automatically scans for metadata for you.
- Requires no installation for end-users.
- Generates a stock Build.PL for Module::Build users.
- Guaranteed forward-compatibility.
- Automatically updates your MANIFEST.
- Distributing scripts is easy.
- Include prerequisite modules (less dependencies to install)
- Auto-installation of prerequisites.
- Support for Inline-based modules.
- Support for File::ShareDir shared data files
- Support for precompiled PAR binaries.
- Deals with Win32 install issues for you.
