Subject: A::C doesn't build w/o Module::Build
The Makefile.PL won't install Array::Compare. It installs a copy of Module::Build and then fails without actually installing Makefile.PL. This means Array::Compare won't install from the CPAN shell without manual intervention. Just dropping the use of Build.PL would correct the problem. There's nothing going on in this module to justify using Module::Build. Please correct this or let me upload a patched version of this module. Array::Compare is in the pre-req chain for a module I'm supporting so I'd really like it to work correctly out of the box.

I'm pretty sure that the correct fix is to change the create_makefile_pl parameter in Build.PL from 'passthrough' to 'traditional'. I don't have time to test it right now, but I'll fix it an upload a new version in the next couple of days. Feel free to try the patch out at your end and let me know how it goes. Dave...

Took a bit longer than expected, but version 1.14 is en route to CPAN and should fix your problem. Let me know if if doesn't. Dave...
