I'm not particularly interested in improving Module::Build. I am very much interested in cannibalizing pieces of its code to make them reusable for the second generation of Build.PL builders, which will hopefully obsolete Module::Build in the future. Depending on your point of view this would make me either the worst or best possible candidate to manage Module::Build. In either case I do not think I would be doing it for more than just a handful of releases though. Leon
