Module::Install has provided this for quite some time, but until about
10 minutes ago, it wasn't documented. It will be in the next release of
Module::Install, or if you're impatient you can grab the dev release with:
svn co
http://svn.ali.as/cpan/trunk/Module-Install/ Module-Install
I've included the relevant patch below so you don't have to go looking
about for the documentation.
On the assumption that this does what you need, I'm marking this ticket
as resolved. Feel free to reply (which will re-open the ticket) if I've
missed anything.
All the best,
Paul

To summarize, if you can see it on L<

shouldn't be able to, you need a C<no_index> entry to remove it.
