in reply to Module::Build compatibility woes
- They have the same prerequisites, so there is nothing to fix there (yes, i'm sure).
- Module::Build should not be forced upon users until it starts generating .packlist's (at least -- no packlist means there is no clean way to uninstall a module).
I'll personally continue writing Makefile.PL's for distributions which have fake Makefile.PL's (or no Makefile.PL's)
until Modle::Build starts generating packlist's.
- I do agree with the "second anonymonk".
Unless Makefile.PL is going to write a Makefile (a MakeMaker generated Makefile),
what's the point in including it (other than to cause trouble)?
Apparently CPAN.pm doesn't support Build.PL, but I can't say I much care :)(if you can install Module::Build, you can install CPANPLUS.pm).
BTW, at least Module::Build is better than Make.pm (and thank *someone* rarely any PAUSE authors are using it).
