FWIW Module::Build, IMO, should not be doing that. It should be doing what MakeMaker does. test.pl is highly discouraged so there's no point in making a Makemaker / Module::Build incompatibility over it. Anyone still using test.pl with Module::Build should be hit with a hammer anyway. -- Stabbing you in the face for your own good.
