[Fwd: MakeMaker Is DOOMED!]

[Stas Bekman]

Something to consider for mod_perl 2.0. Even though it'll create a dependency on Module::Build. Any takers?

Tonite at Portland.pm I gave a lightning talk entitled "MakeMaker Is DOOMED!
or MakeMaker Is Dead! Long Live Module::Build!".

Executive summary:
The architecture of MakeMaker is fundamentally flawed by having to use
an external build tool. Further feature development is discouraged.
Use Module::Build instead.

Which is what I've been saying all long. :)

I'll be giving a somewhat longer version of this at the German Perl Workshop,
pending some financial disputes, talking a lot more about Module::Build and
less about how much I am sick of MakeMaker.
