Got it thanks. It downloaded and installed this time in 2 minutes.

I left the M::B build running last night whilst I watched a film and 1 1/2 hours later it was still using 100% cpu and still had done nothing. The best as I can tell, it is just grepping around the build tree looking for POD, reading every file over & over and over. Dog only knows why!

I;ve looked to try and fix it several times, but it is sooo (unnecessarily) complicated that I get nowhere.
