I find the typical Module::Build opponent’s argument that it’s not mature and won’t be for a long time to be quite disingenious. Only software which has users improves. The argument that you inflict pain on users is understandable, but for simple needs you can avoid that by way of create_makefile_pl => 'traditional'. And while users complain that there is no compatible PREFIX support, I always found it a mess to deal with as a user and applaud the coming of install_base.
The other option is Module::Install, which for some reason I can’t bring myself to like, even though everyone using it seems to rave about it. Last I looked, I couldn’t find much documentation, anyway.
Makeshifts last the longest.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
