Ya know, you don't have to do everything everyone says. ;) > Maintaining both a Build.PL and a Makefile.PL is not fun, except in > easy cases. I see the work you did in Template::TT2Site for this. Its, for the most part, not necessary. There is a create_makefile_pl option (see Module::Build::Compat) which does a fair job of creating a Makefile.PL functionally equivalent to your Build.PL. It comes in various flavors from passthrough (where it writes a Makefile which simply calls Module::Build functions) to a pure MakeMaker implementation. Flipping through the Makefile.PLs of your modules they look for the most part trivial and would be handled fine by create_makefile_pl.
