Hi,
It looks like you're suffering from a feature of MakeMaker. Add
this to your
Makefile.PL options (WriteMakefile):
PL_FILES => {},
so that your Build.PL will not be identified as some executable
code...
Hey, that's a great tip. Thanks, Burak.

I highly recommend that you consider using the "create_makefile_pl =>
'traditional'" option which takes care of these annoying little
details for you automatically.
If you had done a web search for the error "Too early to specify a
build action 'Build'" you would have seen that others have made this
same error in their Makefile.PL files. The first Google result, for
example, has the solution: http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/373
Perhaps someone should file a bug against MakeMaker and/or
Module::Build to emit a more useful error in this case? Or make
Build.PL be an explicit exception to MakeMaker's rules? That won't
help older installations, but it will make the future a happier place.
