Yeah, the expectation is that the user will do *either*

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  ...
  make realclean

*or*

  perl Build.PL
  Build
  ...
  Build realclean

but mixing the two, i.e.

  perl Makefile.PL
  ...
  Build realclean

will leave an orphan Makefile around.

As for a fix, it's probably not a great idea to remove the Makefile 
when doing 'Build realclean', but maybe the subsequent failure modes 
could be cleaned up a bit.
