Hi Guy!
I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but I found your message hard to
follow. You often broken my paragraphs or even my sentences in half, lost a
lot of yours and mine's original context, etc. But I'll try to do the best I
can.

"Not existing CPAN Modules" is also a bit ambigious.

That's because that's where I wanted to discuss specifying parameters to M::B
in a format capable-of-machine-processing, instead of in pure Perl code. This
mailing list is also the appropriate one, because we discuss Module Authoring
here and I'm not aware of a more specialised mailing list for Module-Build
(or at least Google could not find it.)

Can you give an exact link to his original post, or quote it?

No, it's perfectly fine on my end here (at least in your original message).
After I replied while quoting the message it broke the link in two because it
was too long. I could access it, but didn't understand what it was all about.

In that case, lacking good links or a definitive reference text, I'll have to
ignore your comment earlier.
I hope it's not much of a flamewar so far, but it sure seems to have escalated
into a minor one. "You are a Nazi!"[1] - oops!
