But then I just gave up on MakeMaker, and instead made it a passthrough for M::B
I chose to do this so that I could put all my C code into its own src/ folder, and install from there. > > > > I think EUMM is okay to support for simple Perl-only modules, but things like "recommends" in Module::Build make it really attractive to me as a CPAN developer. So I use simple EUMM modules where possible, but otherwise if I need to have a slightly more complex build, I switch to Build.PL I think we should work to slowly phase out EUMM, since supporting it is undoubtedly a nightmare (writing Makefiles and calling those?!). M::B lets it all be done from Perl itself, and seems to be reaching a point where it's mature/stable enough for real widespread use. Plus being able to subclass it is tres cool. Just my two cents.
