[Module-build-general] Module::Build woes

I love Module::Build. I hate Module::Build. I love the idea, but the =
hassles involved
in providing a transition from E::MM to it are driving me up the wall.
Perhaps someone can help.
I'm have a script that will fetch from CPAN and bundle a module into a =
zipfile for
later deployment on multiple machines. With Makefile.PL based modules =
it works fine, but
M::B (or M::B::Compat) modules break it.
My bundler script uses CPAN.pm, so I have no choice but to use =
M::B::Compat to tackle this
problem. Up till now, the basic flow was:
1. Create a temp dir for installation
2. get the module
3. Set $CPAN::Config->{makepl_arg} to "PREFIX=3D$dir SITEPREFIX=3D$dir"
4. make module
5. test module
6. install module
7. zip up contents of $dir.
The result of which was an archive that was suitable for extraction =
relative to
$Config{installprefix}:

Recently, Dave Rolsky updated Log::Dispatch to use M::B. When I try to =
use the bundler
on that, it completely ignores the M::B::Compat translated =

because it creates an installation hierarchy relative to / instead of =
$Config{installprefix}.
What's worse, M::B::Compat doesn't let me pass M::B directives on the =
command line
(only E::MM ones), so I can' use the $CPAN::Config->{makepl_arg} =
override:
[appserv:jfitzgi] ~/Log-Dispatch-2.06 (637) > perl Makefile.PL =
destdir=3D/tmp/foo
Unknown parameter 'destdir' at =
/home_dir/jfitzgi/myperl/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Module/Build/Compat.pm=
line 26.

Nor does CPAN allow me to override the script to call, so I can't have =
it sneakily
call Build.PL instead. I *must* call Makefile.PL, but I can't use =
destdir and passing
prefix doesn't work properly.
See what I mean? The idea behind M::B is great, but it simply doesn't =
work if you are
stuck using CPAN.pm and trying to automate things.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
