Hi all:
I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank everyone for their
discussion, particularly Michael Schwern (maintainer of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker among others) and Adam Kennedy (maintainer of
Module::Install among others).
I know this question comes up time and time again, and I had
personally

Hi wise Perl authors:
I've been building some Perl packages for Debian. I've noticed in the
course of this that dh-make-perl (our preferred script for
transforming Perl distributions into Debian packages) prefers
Makefile.PL over Build.PL.
One problem this has caused is that a Makefile is created
The way I've interpreted that in my own auto-build scripting is that if
Build.PL exists, the module author is probably a Module::Build user who is
only providing a Makefile.PL grudgingly for the sake of those who haven't
installed Module::Build, and thus I figure that if there's any difference
