Subject: Build.PL, Makefile.PL issues
- there is a Makefile.PL that uses Module::Build::Compat, which is the worst part of Module::Build. If ExtUtils::MakeMaker can be used to build this distribution, it is preferred if a proper Makefile.PL is used in the first place and Build.PL is dropped entirely. - Build.PL specifies Test::More as a build prerequisite, when it should be a test prerequisite. The Makefile.PL doesn't even do that - it puts everything into PREREQ_PM!

I dropped the Makefile.PL and cleaned up the Build.PL in version 0.0.8. Thanks for the report. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish.

Okay, but couldn't you have kept the Makefile.PL instead? :)
