<I>Do others think I should add the Module::Build recipe as well?</I><br><br>
Thankfully, many modules that were originally built to use Module::Build, also provide a Makefile.PL. (One of those modules is Module::Build itself.)
<br>I suppose there are still some modules that don't provide a Makefile.PL.
<br><br>I guess the responsible thing to do would be to specify that the Module::Build mantra be used in those rare instances that a Makefile.PL is not provided.
<br><br>I, however, would be tempted to provide a far more irresponsible (tongue-in-cheek) handling:
<br><br>"If a Makefile.PL has not been provided then the module is not worth installing";
<br>or (slightly less offensive):
<br>"If a Makefile.PL has not been provided, file a bug report".
<br><br>The former is, of course, not necessarily true - and the latter is probably little other than arrogant.
<br> By way of explanation, I have always found Module::Build to be intensely annoying, and I try to avoid making any statements that might infer that the use (or even the mere existence) of that build process is valid or useful.
