h2xs comes with perl by default, so most people who have perl are already going to have h2xs. So your title isn't quite right (I know, pick, pick, pick).
Yeah -- I should have said something like "A tool you've gotta try". I knew that h2xs was part of the Perl distribution.
Anyway, h2xs is useful for building general modules, but it has a lot of stuff that is useful only for XS modules that you'll have to remove for PP modules.
Right -- I figured that from the 'xs' at the end, even though it sounds like Ingy's Inline::C is the preferred method when linking C code into a Perl script/.
I just know that watching my colleague build all this stuff, everything was pre-cooked and ready to go. Thanks for the link to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, I'll definitely check that out.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
