I don't want to support Make::Maker and am reluctant to add things I'm
not willing to support.
FWIW I'm running RHEL5 here with perl 5.8.8 and I've not had any trouble
using Module::Build.

It sounds like your environment is a bit flaky. CPANTS seems to have
revealed only one problem, and that is only if you are using a really
strict Critic module.

Really any reliable build environment should be able to build this
package, and if it can't then I think it's revealing an existing issue
not introducing a new one ... I'm going under the assumption you aren't
running CPAN on a production server BTW, that you compile the module in
to the packaging format used on your OS, then install those packages, or
PPM's on Windows ... guess it's a bigger problem if you can't do that
... hmmm
