Better suggestions welcome

No, I don't have a better suggestion - though I would do it differently.

Normally, when one updates a core module on Win32, it goes into perl/lib, clobbering the old version in the process. I personally don't see any reason to change that behaviour.

Looking a little more closely at the Strawberry distro, we see there are still some MakeMaker modules in perl/lib/ExtUtils - eg EU::Liblist, which is duplicated in perl/site/lib/ExtUtils. (I think the duplicated modules are identical. One hopes so, as its the ones in perl/lib/ExtUtils that will be loaded.) If EU::MM is going into perl/site/lib then I think it would be a good idea to remove *all* of the MakeMaker modules from perl/lib/ExtUtils.

Anyway .... nothing to lose any sleep over. I was merely taken aback for a few minutes when I went to open MM_Win32.pm and it wasn't there !! :-)

Cheers,
Rob
