This forces them to download and install Module::Build -- with all of its dependencies -- just to build and install something they downloaded. Lucy is a good example where this might come up: https://metacpan.org/release/Lucy For those of us with pure Perl distributions, we can also include a Makefile.PL (dzil will create both a Makefile.PL and a Build.PL, won’t it?). But for more complicated builds like Lucy’s, it’s going to be a PITA to switch to something else. Best, DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
