Re: [PATCH] Re: [Module-build-general] Breaking CPAN installs..

Aha. OK. Confession: how dumb I really do feel at this moment. I haven't
been thinking about M::B for too long. So, ...

When I wrote previously that "I tried Michael's patch with the first
CPAN module that uses Module::Build that I could lay hands on, M::B it's
self", that didn't make a lot od sense, did it? Actually, is it true as
I now realize that *using good 'ol CPAN.pm*, the *only* package out
there that's going to use Module::Build to build itself is
Module::Build, itself ("Who's on First" -- whaa? that's what I'm asking,
you dope, who's on first?")? because calling `make' is so hardwired in
to CPAN.pm? It's always going to try to build modules the same way.

I used CPAN to fetch-prepare-install Ken's Path::Class a minute ago and
the discomforting realization of my ignorance hit me. So are we just
waiting for the world to shift to CPANPLUS? Hmmm, now I have to (after
some sleep) hit the Fine Documentation.
