The FUD about MakeMaker is just as bad. Your assumption that we haven't read the docs, or that we'd magically agree with you when we did, is similarly disheartening.

I'm not sure why you think you have to make Module::Build's PREFIX do the same thing that MakeMaker does: just make it do something that will work for the users if they specify that option. As long as perl can find everything most everyone won't care will things end up. To me, that's the big design mistake no one wants to fix.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
