I've used Module::Starter for most of my distributions and I've never encountered the described problem.

Great, thanks for replying. First, I think there's a misinterpretation to dismiss (my fault, I'm sure). When I wrote about preferring M::B over EU:MM, I was referring to cpan deciding what to do when there are both Makefile.PL and Build.PL files present in the distro. I went back and checked my CPAN config (after writing, of course ;/) and it was set up to prefer Build.PL. No idea why.

What parameters did you call module-starter with?
Sorry, I'm afraid I don't recall. It was several weeks ago and it has scrolled off my bash history. Whatever I did, I ended up with both a Makefile.PL and a Build.PL file. Let's see ... just tested it, yeah, you can do that by providing
both --eumm and --mb on the commandline. I must have done that?

What version of Module::Starter did you use?
$Module::Starter::VERSION == 1.78
