This does not seem to be the case.  CPANrun (ActiveState's build tool) does 
appear to be trying to resolve the dependency on Module::Build.  You can see 
this by looking at the failure logs of some of the PPMs (DateTime::Locale 
is one).  The dependency resolution is failing due to a change in CPAN.pm's 
interface that CPANrun doesn't appear to know how to handle.
