I have spent the past several days writing a new module App::PPBuild, I would love to get some feedback.

In brief the module is a replacement for Make on complicated perl projects that require a complex build system. It can also work with Module::Install via a plugin that is included in the dist. Please read the pod and docs for explination of 'why' I did this and feel Make was a wheel that needed re-invention.

What I am looking for:

• POD Review, how is my documentation?
• Code Review, how is my code?
• Wheel review, this reinvents a wheel, but I feel it is a wheel in bad need of reinvention.
• Do you think you might use this module? What for?
• Module::Install extension, did I do it right? Module::Install::PPBuild
• Feature suggestions!

The newest version is available via git: git://open-exodus.net/ppbuild
The latest POD has been converted to HTML at: http://open-exodus.net/ppbuild.html
I just submitted the most recent version to pause, it is up on cpan now (version 0.11).
Please read the POD for App::PPBuild first, it completely explains the module, and its goals, and all the why's.

Thank you monks!
