Subject: Module::Build requirement absurdly high
Test::Exception has a Module::Build requirement of 0.42, however it works just fine on much older versions of Module::Build. I built this out on multiple platforms, with the oldest having a Module::Build version of 0.280801 with no issues.

Do we even need to use Module::Build in this distribution? Since there are so many reverse-deps on this module, it would be nice for it to just use ExtUtils::MakeMaker and have one fewer dependency.

Don't know... But make sure that the ExtUtils::MakeMaker requirement isn't absurdly high if you go that route. Hitting that problem with other modules too. ;)

It would be really nice to see this fixed (either by reducing the MB required version, or by switching to EUMM) -- older perls have difficulty installing this module due to configure-requires not being parsed properly by older toolchains.
