What I would like was to rewrite this configure system and base it in

of the C package uses the Perl module interface.
My question is: what is the best and easier approach?
The standard way is to use h2xs but there is also swig and I seem to
recall reading recently that Incline::C may be easier but I don't know
how much it is used.
h2xs:

Swig:

Inline:

Ok, the question was nor exactly regarding how to buid the Perl module
interface. The question was more, what is the correct way to distribute
it. I normally use ExtUtils::MakeMaker for Perl Modules, but I am not
sure if it has all the nuts I need to detect libraries and so on.
What I really want is something to replace autoconf/automake/libtool.
