My concern is that besides 'Module::Build::Platform::*', the
Module-Build dist already contains these:
Module::Build::Version
Module::Build::Config
Module::Build::ModuleInfo
Module::Build::Cookbook
Module::Build::Notes
Module::Build::Base
Module::Build::PPMMaker
Module::Build::PodParser
Module::Build::Compat
Module::Build::YAML
Module::Build::Dumper
Yes, as you mentioned, the precedence is already there:
>> Module::Build::Convert
>> Module::Build::Debian
>> Module::Build::JSAN
>> Module::Build::Kwalitee
>> Module::Build::PM_Filter
>> Module::Build::TestReporter
And unfortunately these are all subclasses, so mixing their
functionality together will be non-fun. But then, we've never gotten
around to creating a plugin system, so there's never really been any
sort of prescription or recommended practice. But I guess it's worth
noting that none of the M::B::* stuff in the M-B dist is a subclass.
