Re^2: Module::Build users -- please use the "traditional" create_makefile

It has, actually. Several modules I wanted to use on this project have been using the passthrough style, and none of them used features of Module::Build. This cost me a fair amount of time, and it just seemed like such a waste since it could have been so easilly avoided.

David Golden was kind enough to release a new version of Exception::Class::TryCatch with the option changed when I wrote to him. Then I hit some problems in the DateTime modules. I sent a note to Dave Rolsky about it. He did change it in one of his other modules in the past when asked.	[reply]

Perhaps we should frame it :-)	[reply]
