Re: To use Module::Build from CPANPLUS in Strawberry Perl 5.10.0.3, add two more 0s to the end of the $VERSION declaration in Module::Build.

This is from the Perl::Dist::Strawberry POD:

Strawberry Perl includes:

    * Perl 5.8.8 or Perl 5.10.0
    * Mingw GCC C/C++ compiler
    * Dmake "make" tool
    * Every bundled and dual-life modules upgraded to the latest version.
                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

which is obviously not true in this case.  The best solution is to 
release a Strawberry bundle with a current M::L::C (and anything else 
that may have gotten missed).  The second best solution is to have a new 
release of CPANPLUS (0.85 seems to be forthcoming) which includes an 
explicit dependency on a new enough version of M::L::C to work 
correctly.  The short term solution is to just upgrade M::L::C yourself 
using CPAN under Strawberry Perl...
