Very interesting, I'll give it a try. At the moment I simply start by hand from an empty file, no template at all.

I type
perldoc perlmod
and then cut and paste the example at the end.

I use h2xs -A -X -b 5.5.0 -n Name::Of::Module or something the like.... but Module::Starter looks interesting, thanks for the hint.
Best regards,

I use a 'new.pl' script, which is basically just a thin wrapper around ExtUtils::ModuleMaker. I use the same script to generate script boilerplate too, but have to create this from a template, which has GetOpt::Long, --help and the other usual suspects pre-coded. It'd be nice if there were a CPAN module that did for scripts what ExtUtils::ModuleMaker does for modules, but I've yet to find (or I suppose, write) one.

I've been using ExtUtils::ModuleMaker::TT (which I wrote). It extends ExtUtils::ModuleMaker to use the Template Toolkit skeletons for the files it builds. It should be easy to create a "modulino" template for more script-like skeleton that could be called with a command line config-file option.
It's been a little fragile lately given the great (and long-overdue) overhaul that jkeenan1 has just given to ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, but I just released a fresh version to CPAN this morning that is compatible with ExtUtils::ModuleMaker 0.39 and I'll be eliminating some code smells in the next couple weeks.

Thanks for the tip: I'll give that a go.

I don't have one.
Thus forcing myself to remember what I'm doing, and not just having a bunch of default code that may or may not be relevant to the module I'm writing.
What's yours btw?

I believe in the third way, although I'm definitely not a New Labour or Tony Blair supporter (except when he annoys the unions and I thought the minute or so I saw of his speech to the UN the other day was rather good).
I think it's always good to have a little boilerplate, like comments and use strict, maybe constructor templates, etc, because it helps with best practice. But it's bad (I know from experience) to just get an old project (usually in Delphi where I work, although sometimes in Perl too) and just save it under a different name and start writing the stuff that's specific for the new project.

My template is the previous module I wrote. | [reply] |

My boilerplate is:
For open-source stuff like goes on CPAN, I don't have a boilerplate. At least, not yet. :-)
