How do you use toolchain (ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build) with a short example?

Perl's toolchain tools such as ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build are essential for creating, building, and managing Perl modules. Below is a short example demonstrating how to use these tools.

ExtUtils::MakeMaker is traditionally used to generate the Makefile for your Perl module. Here's a simple example:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'My::Module', VERSION_FROM => 'lib/My/Module.pm', # finds $VERSION PREREQ_PM => { 'Some::Prerequisite' => 0, # Specify any prerequisites }, );

Alternatively, Module::Build can be used to facilitate the building process with a more modern approach:

use Module::Build; my $builder = Module::Build->new( module_name => 'My::Module', license => 'perl', version => '1.0', requires => { 'Some::Prerequisite' => 0, }, ); $builder->create_build_script;
