In my opinion, no - it's not particularly *pretty*, but it's fairly  
familiar.  The user would first see the installation failing, then  
they would see an error message saying "Can't find  
Module::Build::Compat in @INC (...)" like the usual case when a  
require() goes bad.

In general I usually try to avoid catching exceptions and obscuring  
the original texts of them to try to say something "smarter", but I  
suppose I could be persuaded to do so in this case if popular  
sentiment is with it.

Definitely.
