Attached below is a regexp-based solution that matches "simple" Build.PL files. I submit this just for thought, not necessarily for inclusion in M::B.
Cool. I wonder if Randy Sims (when he gets back from vacation) could run this against his mini-cpan area to get some statistics on the broader CPAN. Or anyone else, if they're so inclined, certainly.
Perhaps this mode could be triggered by C<create_makefile_pl => 'automatic'>
Yeah. As long as we're very strict in how we parse, i.e. any "syntax errors" according to our grammar for simple Build.PL files are "fatal", this does seem like a good way to do things.
I would initially like to roll out the 'auto' default without any of this sensing on the Build.PL, but it's going to be good to have in our back pocket. Thanks.
