See http://blogs.perl.org/users/leon_timmermans/2011/03/le-roi-est-mort-vive-le-roi.html for my ideas on that. Actually writing that module builder is not my first or most important goal (though it will be the one most visible to end-users). My primary goal is to make writing a module builder easy (or at least a lot easier than it is now). Currently there is a fairly large amount of accidental complexity in writing a Build.PL implementation. Those problems should have modules solving them, preferably refactored from well-tested Module::Build code. Leon
