Subject: 'have_c_compiler()' aborts due to missing '_build' dir
The following Build.PL fails: use Module::Build; if (! Module::Build->new(module_name => 'My::Module', license => 'perl') ->have_c_compiler()) { die("No 'C' compiler found to build My::Module\n"); } Error message is: Can't create : No such file or directory at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/Module/Build/Base.pm line 2493. This is caused because Module::Build is not creating the '_build' dir prior to executing 'have_c_compiler()'. A workaround of adding "mkdir('_build', 0777);" before the 'if' statement allows the Build.PL to function properly.

It looks like this issue is already solved in the development branch (versions 0.27_xx), because we always use ExtUtils::CBuilder there and it uses File::Spec->tmpdir() rather than _blib/ for its staging area. In the maintenance branch (versions 0.26xx) you should also be able to work around the issue by installing ExtUtils::CBuilder. Your workaround is probably easier, though. -Ken

At this point we don't have another maintenance release planned, but if another one happens, this fix will certainly be in it. -Ken
