in reply to Problem Installing Module::Build with CPAN shell

Module::Build does not support PREFIX, which is why it doesn't work with older versions of CPAN.

    MB 0.27_02 and higher now support PREFIX - I wrote the initial patch (that Ken, Randy, and Schwern took and made correct). You still get 0.2610 from CPAN's "install Module::Build" because 0.27_02 and 0.27_03 are considered "developer releases" and won't be installed by CPAN unless you specifically ask for it.
    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
