  Maybe this could encourage you to use ExtUtils::MakeMaker instead?

    I use both. Here's a typical Build.PL file of mine:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    
    use strict;
    use Module::Build;
    
    my $builder = Module::Build->new(
        module_name       => 'aliased',
        license           => 'perl',
        dist_author       => 'Curtis "Ovid" Poe <moc.oohay@eop_divo_sitruc>',
        dist_version_from => 'lib/aliased.pm',
        requires          => {},
        build_requires => {
            'Test::More'      => 0.6,
        },
        add_to_cleanup     => ['aliased-*'],
        create_makefile_pl => 'traditional',
    );
    
    $builder->create_build_script();

    When I build, it automatically creates this:

    # Note: this file was auto-generated by Module::Build::Compat version 0.03
    use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
    WriteMakefile
    (
      'PL_FILES' => {},
      'INSTALLDIRS' => 'site',
      'NAME' => 'aliased',
      'EXE_FILES' => [],
      'VERSION_FROM' => 'lib/aliased.pm',
      'PREREQ_PM' => {
        'Test::More' => '0.6'
      }
    );

    I try hard to make sure that my modules are easy to install, regardless of how you want to install them.
