I think you're right that there could be better way to do this, such as
in "pure perl". This is one of the benefits of Module::Build. Since M::B
uses regularly Perl scripts for the Makefile equivalent, you could just
use File::Find and standard perl techniques to find and process files.
No extra function would be needed. (Although some kind of syntactic sugar
could still be desirable).
