Module::install is a package for writing installers for cpan (or cpan-like) distributions that are clean, simple, minimalist, act in a strictly correct manner with extutils::makemaker. it will run on any perl installation version 5.004 or newer.

it is designed to automatically include a copy of itself with modules that use it, thus ensuring that bleeding-edge features will be available for use in makefile.pl in a simple and portable way. it is simple to learn, and has the same features as extutils::makemaker and module::build. however, it has the advantage that it requires no installation for end-users.
