My problem with the create_makefile_pl => 'traditional' is that it
doesn't install Module::Build, so we're not making any progress. If
you have a custom build subclass, you might as well put a die in
Makefile.PL.
The passthrough seems much more sane because it actually installs
Module::Build, yet nobody seems to encourage its use. Why?
If you really want Module::Build to be installed, why not simply
create a traditional Makefile.PL and add Module::Build as a
prerequisite? That way your module can be installed with
ExtUtils::MakeMaker yet Module::Build also gets installed for the
next time.
