Please, if you are a module author using Module::Build, make your work compatible with the tons of things out there that expect a normal perl install process by changing this one thing in your Build.PL and including the generated Makefile.PL in your distribution. If you someday start using actual features of Module::Build that are not supported by MakeMaker, you can change it then.
Since nobody else seems to have said it, and speaking as a fan of Module::Build, I agree completely :-) There is little point in foisting Module::Build on users unless you're using features not supported by EU::MM.
I have to admit that I've not come across a CPAN module that uses M::B that doesn't have a generated "traditional" Makefile.PL. Has it been a common problem for you?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
