According to my CPAN test stats I got 100% pass rate so far :) However there are no Windows/CygWin tests yet ;-(

Even though it’s missing a few useful features, it seems to work for the most part. I know it’s built on hack upon hack, but even people running Windows have (miraculously) been able to install Squatting and its dependencies, so …that’s good enough for me.

Yes its a shame about these competing standards but thats Perl all over I guess ;-)

I have blogged about problems with installing modules that use Module::Build in the past. Despite that I decided to stick my neck out and with all my fingers crossed hope that M::B is the future.

As for which build system to use, I’ve tried them all — ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, and Module::Install. I also think it’s a damned shame that there are 3 competing standards for something as fundamental as module installation.
