Module::Build is a Perl module designed to simplify the process of building and installing Perl modules. It provides a flexible and user-friendly interface for creating a build system, allowing developers to define their module's configuration and dependencies easily. This tool is particularly useful for those who want to avoid the complexities of traditional build systems.
Unlike the older ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build uses a more modern approach, focusing on simplicity and ease of use. It supports various features, such as automatic dependency resolution and the ability to create custom build actions, making it a popular choice among Perl developers for managing their projects.
