Subject: Unable to upgrade from older versions
Older versions of Module::Pluggable install into archlib instead of lib, which takes priority. This means that upgraded versions are ignored after being installed. The only reasonable solution I know of for this is to delete the older files when installing. That is the solution I used for Devel::GlobalDestruction when moving it from archlib to lib. This is related to RT#48951 and RT#54454.

I've seen two people complaining about this recently in IRC. I had to deal with a similar situation in Devel::GlobalDestruction. I fixed it by deleting the offending older module on install. https://metacpan.org/source/HAARG/Devel-GlobalDestruction-0.12/Makefile.PL#L80 I haven't looked at how this would need to be done using Module::Build.
