It seems that ActiveStates build tool fails on DateTime::Locale [1] and
since DateTime depends on it, every DateTime module fails [2].

Hmm. Looks to me like ActiveState should use Build.PL in preference to Makefile.PL when both exist.
Or is the problem that nothing is indicating that Module::Build is a dependency of DateTime-Locale?
The problem is that CPAN.pm is trying to auto-reconfigure itself, and failing miserably when using the default responses to all questions (there's no default continent, so it keeps asking the user to provide one).
Making the build tool prefer Build.PL wouldn't help matters here unless they've already got Module::Build installed on that machine.
