As a CPANPLUS user I have had zero problems using Module::Build.You see, CPANPLUS falls into the same category as M::B for me, namely "solutions looking for a problem". Both replace modules with supposedly hairy internals that have been carefully tweaked and polished over years to do their jobs quite well. Both have chosen to compete head-on with mature solutions, and both often compete based on criteria (extensibility, maintainability) that are only relevant to a tiny fraction of their users. I wish them well, but you'll have to forgive my not seeing a compelling reason to switch.
As a module author I vastly prefer it to EU::MM since it's really easy to extend.As a fellow member of the module-authoring elite, I've never needed to extend EU::MM. I'm not sure whose experience is more representative here.
Next there is the problem that the declarative makefile style isn't always suitable to express the dependencies and processes you want to happenI take this as a challenge... people manage to write major programs in Prolog and Haskell, despite their declarative natures ;). YMMV, of course.
