179 do not include any of Makefile.PL, Build.PL or configure.
Quite a lot come with two or three of those files.
Could we infer that a distribution that comes with several Makefile.PLs may have an overcomplicated build process, maybe indicating a low kwalitee ?
I don't think so.
For example I'm planning to release my modules with Build.PL and Makefile.PL in the future (because I like Module::Build, but want to continue to support people using CPAN).
(maybe more than one == higher kwalitee :-)
