I still would not recommend EU::MM to a new user on this account.
If you're installing today's code from the CPAN directly on outdated
production machines, you're doing it wrong. That's not a problem with
M::B, and it is not a new user's immediate concern.
Sure, you'll need to brief a new hire on your deployment mechanism and
its caveats, but that's true at any business.
