Re^3: cpan and cpanplus and toolchain

You need to make sure that the Makefile.PL doesn't just call Module::Build. You can put a die "MB"; at the start of Module/Build.pm to be sure it's not a Module::Build SNAFU.

There used to be one way to build Perl modules (ExtUtils::MakeMaker), and it worked. Now there are two, the new one isn't that much better than the old one, and everyone has to be made painfully aware of its existence (e.g. the refusal to support PREFIX). Also, check it out on CPAN ratings or RT.	[reply]

e.g. the refusal to support PREFIX Funny story: `PREFIX` never worked correctly within EUMM either. Like many EUMM features, it was broken by design and implementation. (Ask its maintainer sometime.)	[reply] [d/l]
