I'm responding in general to this thread, not to any specific message in it.
I created Module::Build simply because I thought there was a niche that needed filling. We needed a tool that would "make should-be-easy things easy and make hard things possible" for the build & install process. It was clear EU::MM was never going to fill that niche. Creating something to fill this niche DOES NOT MEAN that I wanted the occupier of the existing niche to die. To the contrary, there are several major improvements to EU::MM that come directly from the M::B project, most importantly META.yml and INSTALL_BASE. If you want to keep using EU::MM then just keep using it. Nobody, least of all me, can reasonably criticize you for that unless it causes someone else actual pain. Just like nobody's going to fault you if you edit your source code with Notepad. At some level it's just a question of taste and I'll be damned if I get in that argument. -Ken
