Ever notice how Bundle::CPAN lists ExtUtils::CBuilder before Module::Build? [1] Just because few people ever realize the difference doesn't mean the difference isn't important. Bundles DWIM -- so people don't *have* to realize the difference. David [1] Whether it's a good approach the way Module::Build sets features at install time versus picking up optional modules later is a separate, debatable issue.
