Btw, this is probably as good an opportunity as any for me to express my gratitude to those who created Module::Build, as well as those who make the whole CPAN infra-structure available.
@Eric: Perhaps the very useful "phamphlet" you wrote could be added to the Module::Build documents. Since its contents aren't specific to Module::Build, someone might argue that's not the "right" place, but as a practical matter it's where people will find it.
