Zaxo
<p>An attempt to install [cpan://Module::Build] over CPAN gives:
<code> CPAN.pm: Going to build K/KW/KWILLIAMS/Module-Build-0.2604.tar.gz
Sorry, PREFIX is not supported. See the Module::Build
documentation for 'destdir' or 'install_base' instead.</code>
Prior attempts over the last year have all failed for one reason or another. I'm reluctant to trust a builder which cannot build itself, and is so dismissive of current practice as to knowingly ignore PREFIX.</p>
<p>The objections to <tt>make</tt> are mostly avoidable by keeping things simple, only using POSIX features, writing for <tt>/bin/sh</tt>. Everybody needs <tt>make</tt>, anyhow, whether they know it or not ;-)</p>
