Yes, I guess so. I don't really care for more.
I'm just using it in a bunch of Makefile's to produce
automatic <package>-<xx>.readme files for my modules,
mainly for ftp and the web. It always worked fine.
Like this:
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'CArray',
'VERSION_FROM' => 'CArray.pm',
'depend' => {
'dist' => "\$(DISTDEFAULT) \$(DISTVNAME).readme\n",
'$(DISTVNAME).readme' => "\$(VERSION_FROM)\n" .
"\tpod2text --alt \$(VERSION_FROM) >\$(DISTVNAME).readme",
}
);
