- - what else you may need to have, How to build it - possible changes to
- Makefile.PL etc, How to install it, Recent changes in this release,

-
- =item Guidelines for Converting Perl 4 Library Scripts into Modules
-
- There is no requirement to convert anything, Consider the implications,
- Make the most of the opportunity, The pl2pm utility will get you started,
- Adds the standard Module prologue lines, Converts package specifiers from '
- to ::, Converts die(...) to croak(...), Several other minor changes
-
- =item Guidelines for Reusing Application Code
-
- Complete applications rarely belong in the Perl Module Library, Many
- applications contain some Perl code that could be reused, Break-out the
- reusable code into one or more separate module files, Take the opportunity
- to reconsider and redesign the interfaces, In some cases the 'application'
- can then be reduced to a small
