[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:

``` example
    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:

``` example
    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

``` example
    module-setup --init --flavor-class=+DevMoose moose
```

Now you can create a new module

``` example
    module-setup MY::AWESOME::MODULE moose
```
