Subject:

Build.PL is not supported (1.09)

While trying to build the distribution with CPAN.pm (probably with prefer_installer=MB): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Output from '/usr/perl5.22.2p/bin/perl5.22.2 Build.PL': Module::Install no longer supports Build.PL. It was impossible to maintain duel backends, and has been deprecated. Please remove all Build.PL files and only use the Makefile.PL installer. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 9. Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 5. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Build is successful if CPAN config is changed to prefer_installer=EUMM.

Even better would be to switch off of Module::Install entirely and switch to ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

For a long time it has been on my TODO-list to switch (back) to ExtUtils::MakeMaker in all Math::Big* distribution. I will give this priority.

The latest version uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker and nothing else.
