Description

Many of the inline file templates in the rexify binary are outdated:

  • using 0.40 features
  • old syntax (install, set group, etc.)
  • using __module__.pm filename
  • typos
  • missing items in bundle module list

How to reproduce it

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. create new module with rexify --create-module or
  2. create bundle with rexify --bundle

Shortest code example that demonstrates the bug: see above

Expected behavior

The inline file templates should use recent features and syntax.

Circumstances

  • Rex version: 1.12.1
  • Perl version: any

Research direction

Start by tracing the inline templates used by the rexify --create-module and rexify --bundle entry points. Compare their generated files with current Rex syntax and features, checking the outdated syntax, module.pm filename, typos, and bundle module list mentioned in the issue. Done means both commands generate up-to-date templates covering these reported problems.
