in thread Module::Build users -- please use the "traditional" create_makefile_pl option

I'd also suggest that until Module::Build is known to work on a lot of platforms (i.e. close to what the baseline perl supports) that authors supply an oldstyle Makefile.PL.

Which was exactly what perrin is suggesting. If you use the "traditional" create_makefile_pl option in M::B you'll get a normal Makefile.PL generated that doesn't depend on M::B.
