| Subject: | Installing Module::Build with CPAN fails (at least 5.6.1 and higher) |
Probably wrong at the moment it says "Package seems to come without a
Makefile.PL". Which is correct, as it is not part of the distribution.
Shouldn't there be a Module::Build::Compat style Makefile.PL in the
distribution?

There's a new CPAN.pm version (v1.61) available!
[Current version is v1.59_54]
You might want to try
install Bundle::CPAN
reload cpan
without quitting the current session. It should be a seamless upgrade
while we are running...

Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.
(The test -f "/root/.cpan/build/Module-Build-0.06/Makefile.PL" returned false.
)
Writing one on our own (setting NAME to ModuleBuild)
