Help with Module::Install(::RTx)

Hi RT Developers,
i need some help with Module::Install::RTx, i'm trying to create my first RTx, read the whole day the web and came to a point, Module::Install(::RTx) can help me.

I have a tiny RTx, one Callback, one html File and one perl module, let say:

/html/Callbacks/RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/Ticket/Element/Tabs/Default
/html/Ticket/MyGreatExtension.html
/local/lib/RT/Extension/MyGreatExtension/Name.pm

i moved them (after testing a lot inside RT) to my homedir, lets say:

~/devel/MyGreatExtension-Source

and tried like i read: h2xs -X -n RT::Extension::MyGreatExtension what ends up in a new SubDir:

Writing RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/lib/RT/Extension/MyGreatExtension.pm
Writing RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/Makefile.PL
Writing RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/README
Writing RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/t/RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension.t
Writing RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/Changes
Writing RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension/MANIFEST

But my Callbacks and HTML Files are missing.

Should i copy them by hand to this new subdir and add to MANIFEST? I read already in the list (from Kevin i think) that i also have manually add this part to the auto generated Makefile.PL:

use inc::Module::Install;
RTx('RT-Extension-MyGreatExtension');
author('Torsten Brumm <mymail [at] email>');
license('perl');

&WriteAll;

My Questions: Is this the correct way or not?

Thanks for any hint.

Use an existing extension for comparison.

h2x is not your friend here. You don't need it.

This looks like a fine Makefile.PL, except that I'd generally recommend
RTx over RT-Extension.

You'll want to create that Makefile.PL and then these directories:

lib/
html/
html/Callbacks/RTx-MyGreatExtension/
html/RTx-MyGreatExtension/

Your extension lib should go in lib/RTx/MyGreatExtension.pm and have a
package line that reads "package RTx::MyGreatExtension;"

Rather than putting your .html file in Ticket, I'd recommend putting it
in RTx-MyGreatExtension/Ticket/
(note that to build your extension, you'll need to install
Module::Install::Admin and Module::Install::RTx from CPAN)

You'll need a MANIFEST containing a list of all the files in your
distribution.

Most everything else is optional.

Best,
Jesse

Sweet! I was just starting to work on something similar; graph relation
amongst all tickets in a result set. Maybe I can use this to keep track
of my TODO list instead.

I'll try to play with it soon, and report back so you can push it to CPAN :-P
