in thread Build.PL versus Makefile.PL

EU:MM works now for every stable Perl (5) version, out of the box.

    Ironically, those are the ActiveState ones, which also don't play nice with Module::Build, either.

      IMO its easier to install nmake than it is to install Module::Build.

        Of course, the Vanilla Perl approach is to bundle both dmake and Module::Build as part of the installation.
