Presumably, the compatibility Makefile.PL isn't used for ./Build dist,
so the META.yml shouldn't be affected, right?
Are the downstream tools reading 'Makefile' and checking for 'perl' in
the 'PREREQ_PM' line?
Is EU::MM assuming that perl is a module? Should we just print a better
warning from the Makefile.PL?
Also, it looks like we're a little light on checks in
test_makefile_creation() in compat.t.
Thanks,
Eric

Turns out the optimal technique is to put it in reverse and gun it.
