Just so you know, AFAIK: 1. ExtUtils::MakeMaker (EU::MM) is not dead and will shortly be under new management. EU::MM is still being used for current and new modules. 2. Dist::Zilla is a packaging tool, not an installer. Typically EU::MM is generated from Dist::Zilla managed packages. 3. Module::Install uses EU::MM under the hood.
