I haven't been following the Module::Build stuff closely, but I've always wondered about these sorts of intricate solutions. Shouldn't it be enough to temporarily replace ExtUtils::Makemaker with something that has the same interface and spits out a Build.PL and a META.yml? I do something similar with Test::Prereq to see what's in PREREQ_PM. Having said that, I'd prefer the PPIx::MakefilePL. Distributions aren't about modules or packages (e.g. I can distribute a script in the same framework).
