Try h2xs. A pure perl module, with a Makefile.PL and all the
other goodies, comes from h2xs -A -X -n ModuleName. This will
include all the appropriate targets to make the tarball for
distribution once the module is finished (make tardist).
perldoc h2xs will tell you it is for "convert[ing] .h C header files
to Perl extensions", but it does a whole lot more as well.
