I have a client who is asking for a cpanel installer for the application that I am writing for him. I have been to these pages...
cPanel Plugins - Developer
Introduction to cPAddons
Creating Addon Scripts
Creating a New cPAddon Script
...but I am still not getting it. The application to be installed is written in PHP and expects to work with a MySql database. I expected to write a PHP program that functions as an install script which does something like this...
I didn't really see any of that in the documentation. I did see some sample perl code but it didn't do anything even close to what I was expecting.
Is there some "writing cPAddons for dummies" document that will set the context for the above resources?

- copy a file hierarchy to the target sub folder under document root
- capture database connection information and use that to write some kind of config.php file
- create a database schema and pre-populate certain tables within it
- the ability to modify certain files such as .htaccess would also be very nice
