Um. Me. Iain Truskett. Can be found as either Spoon or Koschei around the place, and as Braxiatel in rare circumstances. Um. Cool. Ta.
My perl svn repository [dellah.org] if you want bits of code by me. Also see dellah.org [dellah.org] for most of them in action.
My friends [perl.org], foes [perl.org], fans [perl.org], and freaks [perl.org]. And you can see what my friends are journalling [perl.org].
And everybody's journals [perl.org] (in order of updating).
Quick update
Ok. I now have a place in which to live with my gf. Soon, I hope to have a job with which to pay the rent =)
And I've uploaded WWW::Page::(Host|Author|Modified) 1.2.
Naturally, seconds after uploading one of them I found that two test files weren't in the MANIFEST, and thus not in the tar.gz. That's another feature that will have to go into my makemaker program.
makemaker is a cute program that goes through the modules, scripts and tests and writes appropriate Makefile.PL, README, t/doc.t and t/info.t files. Makes copious use of Module::Info. t/doc.t is good even if it only calls POD::Coverage, and t/info.t can be interesting if one makes a non-obvious syntax error.
README is, naturally, just a Pod::Text of the module file.
The important thing is that it automates a lot of the boring parts of writing a module.
Next, I give it a partner program, or an option, that goes and creates the appropriate directories and a stub module. Like that script somebody or other posted a while back.
I have so generously prepared for them :-)

I've heard MakeMaker called many, many things and 'cute' was not one of them...not even in the same sentence :)

yes, yes, I realise that...I was just taking advantage of the ambiguity. :)

The program was going to be called makemakemaker but maybe I should have settled for make3r?
The real MM is semi-cute. Cute in that big scary way.
