+summary: In which I share my enthusiasm for Module::Setup.
+title: modules I like Module::Setup
+---
+
+[Module::Setup](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Module::Setup) by [Yappo](http://blog.yappo.jp/) is a really nice module. I don't like [Module::Starter](http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Module::Starter), it's not easy to create template to make it do what you need. With Module::Setup you can create flavors for any type of modules you want. Most of the modules I create for work use Moose, and I like to use Test::Class too. I've created a Moose flavor for creating this kind of modules.
+
+### Creating a Moose flavor for Module::Setup
+
+First, you tell it to init a new flavor:
+
+```bash
+module-setup --init moose
+```
+
+Module::Setup ask what is your favorite SCM. For me, it's git. It will create files in *$HOME/.module-setup/flavors/moose/*.
+
+Start by editing *$HOME/.module-setup/flavors/moose/template/lib/____var-module_path-var____.pm* to make it look like this
+
+```perl
+- use strict;
+- use warnings;
++ use Moose;
+```
+
+Add **requires 'Moose'** in **Makefile.PL**. Create a **t/tests/Test/____var-module_path-var____.pm** file with the following content:
+
+```perl
+package Test :: [%module %];
+
+use strict;
+use warnings;
+use base 'Test::Class';
+use Test::Exception;
+use Test::More;
+
+sub class {'[% module %]'}
+
+sub startup : Tests(startup => 1) {
+ my $test = shift;
+ use_ok $test->class, "use ok";
+}
+
+sub shutdown : Tests(shutdown) {
+ my $test = shift;
+}
+
+sub constructor : Tests(1) {
+ my $test = shift;
+ can_ok $test->class, 'new';
+}
+
+1;
+```
+
+You will have a Test::Class test ready with basic tests already implemented.
+
+If you want to share this template at $work, easy:
+
+```bash
+module-setup --pack DevMoose moose > DevMoose.pm
+```
+
+You just have to send DevMoose.pm to who need it, and he will be able to import it with
+
+```bash
+module-setup --init --flavor-class=+DevMoose moose
+```
+
+Now you can create a new module
+
+```bash
+module-setup MY::AWESOME::MODULE moose
+```
