If you take in consideration the distribution HTML::Tagset again, the rough skeleton
suitable for Module::Build having converted the Makefile.PL by
Module::Build::Convert into a Build.PL, the output would be as
following:
Example 3.
# This -*-perl-*- program writes the Makefile for installing this distribution.
#
# See "perldoc perlmodinstall" or "perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker" for
# info on how to control how the installation goes.
# Note: this file has been initially generated by Module::Build::Convert 0.24_01
require 5.004;

use Module::Build;
my $build = Module::Build->new
(
module_name => 'HTML::Tagset',
dist_author => 'Andy Lester <andy@petdance.com>',
dist_version_from => 'Tagset.pm',
add_to_cleanup => [
'HTML-Tagset-*'
],
license => 'unknown',
create_readme => 1,
create_makefile_pl => 'traditional',
);
$build->create_build_script;
As you can see while ExtUtils::MakeMaker prefers upper-cased arguments, Module::Build goes by entirely lower-cased arguments, which obey the rule of least surprise by being as intuitive as a description can be.
The build and installation procedure is for a Module::Build distribution as following:
