I found this notes from the book of Perl Hacks by Damian Conway, specifically - Hack 17. Collect Configuration Information. 

Some code you write needs configuration information when you build and
+ install it. For example, consider a program that can use any of seve
+ral optional and conflicting plug-ins. The user must decide what to u
+se when she builds the module, especially if some of the dependencies
+ themselves have dependencies.

When you run your tests and the code in general, having this informati
+on available in one spot is very valuableyou can avoid expensive and 
+tricky checks if you hide everything behind a single, consistent inte
+rface.

How do you collect and store this information? Ask the user, and then 
+write it into a simple configuration module!

Then he presents his code which he describes as extending the Module::Build. I tried to run his code but was getting errors -- "Can't locate SUPER.pm in @INC..." . I wonder if there is a simpler version of implementing what Damian Conway mentioned in his book.
