Greets, I've offered passthrough Makefile.PLs on my Module::Build-based distros for the last few years, and they seem to have done what I needed them to do: stop Makefile.PL loyalists from taking up my time with complaints.
However, I recently saw this on cpan-testers-discuss from David Golden: http://markmail.org/message/jzzobzsrgc6vi7tr Module::Build::Compat must die. I've got a distro that requires Perl 5.8.3 or greater that's currently got a passthrough Makefile.PL. Should I zap it? Would that help anyone out, at the cost of possibly bringing up the noise floor by some unknown amount on my support lists? Marvin Humphrey
