I received a complaint against my SVN::Notify::Build distro:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27183
that has me annoyed. I provide a compatibility Makefile.PL so that
users without Module::Build installed will get bootstrapped into the
modern era. For whatever reason, this wouldn't work with the OP's
system and caused his smokes to just burn CPU. That's not my problem.
My problem is that the OP seems to think I should provide a fully EU::MM
compatible Makefile.PL, because installing M::B is too much of a
hardship. I can see that the OP has entered another bug:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27208
where Dave Rolsky responded much as I did.
My question to the list is: should I just delete the Makefile.PL
completely, or should I break it so that Module::Build won't get
installed in unmonitored mode? Or should I just mark it as WONTFIX and
change nothing? Please don't spare my feelings if you think I'm being
too much of a hardass about this... ;-)
