in reply to Using perl's Extutils::MakeMaker or Module::Build to install applications

Module::Build does not depend on make with its arcane syntax and is a more "pure" Perl solution, so in principle it can do anything Perl can do and has been designed to make it easier to sub-class than MakeMaker and it advertises to run on all systems which carry Perl 5.6 or later.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
