What do we have to now? We have to update the MANIFEST and the Changes
file. [`vim MANIFEST` and remove the boilerplate.t line and add
t/01-basic.t`, `vim Changes`, in Changes, add the date/time]

Now let's create our distribution. How do you do that? With `make
dist` [`perl Makefile.PL`, `make`, `make test`, `make dist`, `ls -al`]

Now, you have to create your Makefile again, because you change the
files. When in doubt, you can always run these four steps.

As you can see, we now have a distribution, ready to be uploaded.

How do you upload something to CPAN? [cut to screenshots of
pause.perl.org]

[first picture]

This is the PAUSE. The Perl Authors Upload Server.

This is what we use to upload distributions.

First, you need an account. You can request one here [point to
"Request PAUSE account"].

[second picture]

To be given a PAUSE account you have to fill in your name, email
address, the desired ID and one or two more things. You also have to
explain what you're planning to contribute.

so far! :-) Bottom right corner, Jose Castro, can't miss it! :-)

Somewhere on that page you'll be able to find these slides. I think
currently their at the top right corner. That might change in the
future, and they may go under the "Talks" section, but they'll be
there and they'll be easy to find.

So thank you very much for your time, get C<Module::Starter> on your
machine and start a module today.

Don't be afraid of uploading it to CPAN. People will help you when you
do something wrong :-)

[slide]

Thank you.

Any questions? [email me at cog@cpan.org if you have any :-) ]

I'll leave the previous slide with the links while I answer questions.
