(N.B I'm the author of ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::TT, so, yes, I'm a fan of the ExtUtils::ModuleMaker school. And kudos to jkeenan1 for his recent updates!)
heheheh.
i've jumped on the testing team for ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, because i'd like to participate more, plus there are a few enhancements i'd like to see.
the only reason i made my comment was that even if it can be considered "overkill" to use ExtUtils::ModuleMaker just to start testing, having that skeleton there helps one *remember* what's needed.
