Module-Starter-Plugin-CGIApp

This is a plugin for Module::Starter that builds you a skeleton CGI::Application module with all the extra files needed to package it for CPAN. You can customize the output using HTML::Template.

INSTALLATION

If you have the Module::Signature module installed, you can verify the integrity of this distribution by typing:

cpansign -v

Module::Signature requires GnuPG which you can get from: http://www.gnupg.org/download/
A binary version for Windows is available from that page.

Then to install this module, run the following commands:

perl Build.pl
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

On Windows you don't need to type the preliminary ./

Alternatively, you can do:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If you are using ActiveState perl on Windows and you don't have a make utility, you can download nmake from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/patch/1.52/w95/en-us/nmake15.exe (Replace make with nmake in the instructions above if you are using it.)

If you are using Strawberry perl on Windows, it comes with a make utility called dmake. (Replace make with dmake in the instructions above if you are using it.)

NOTE: At the moment, some of the tests will fail on Windows if the path to the directory you unpacked the distribution in has spaces in it. Either skip the tests or move to another directory.
