That would be lovely. So I can quit the 'echo die > Makefile.PL' thing?
Except for the old versions. Oops.
There's still this trouble with nobody upgrading before attempting to
upgrade, right?
How about placing a bounty on a hack that forces an automatic upgrade to
a sufficiently old installer?
On that note: interesting CPAN.pm feature:
if (lc($prefer_installer) eq "rand") {
$prefer_installer = rand()<.5 ? "eumm" : "mb";
