Looks like he has CPAN set to provide the "POLLUTE=1" argument to all
modules, which is a pretty wack thing to be doing, since that's something
the module _author_ should generally do, not the installer.
Module::Build's EU::MakeMaker compatibility code doesn't recognize that
argument, and so it dies.  I'll make a patch for M::B to recognize more
old EU::MM command-line pieces.
