Looks to me like it was expecting a value that was undefined. I also see lots of references to "uninitialized value in length at /opt/perltemp/Module-Build-0.4002/blib/lib/Module/Build/Base.pm line 2767."

If I was you, I'd look at that Base.pm file at line 2767 and find out what it's expecting that it's not getting.

    I checked 'Base.PM' and 'metadata.t' file. Didn't find anything out of the ordinary. As a temporary fix, i forced the install using this command - 
    perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN::Shell->force(qw(install Module::Build));"

    But i will go back to 'Base.PM' and get more info later.
