This is Perl, so TIMTOWTDI. Personally, I generally only override ACTION_ subroutines. If I need code from a private subroutine, I cut/paste it. That insulates me from future M::B changes to internal functions. I have dozens of modules that generate external .pod files from simpler markup in the .pm files. If you look at http://search.cpan.org/dist/Pod-WikiDoc/ and read the Pod::WikiDoc::Cookbook file, you'll see an example of a Build.PL that creates a subclass to do this. However, rather than do that in Build.PL itself, I now usually create the subclass in inc/Module/Build/WikiDoc.pm and just load that from Build.PL. That keeps my Build.PL uncluttered. You can see an example of how I do that in http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN-Mini-Devel/ -- David
