I hope noone minds a zombie
Module::Build::Convert isn't quite ready, even 6 years after this last post. I ran it for one of my modules and it generate not-quite-valid Perl. That said, it comes very close and hopefully just needs a little patching
I had a very bad experience with EUMM this past week; I wrote a pure Perl application on Windows, and found it wouldn't work on a Mac until the user installed the 4 gigabyte XCode package. I immediately converted my dist to Module::Build and everything worked fine.
I see it as Michael Schwern does, as a needless dependency on an external application. So where do we stand 9 years after the initial posting of this? Will EUMM be marked as deprecated soon? Are there plans to start converting distributions? Should I start submitting patches for every dist I care about to help the authors migrate to Module::Build? As a side note, Module::Install was unusable to me because it requires EUMM to install.
