Module::Build is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be a replacement for ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with MakeMaker. It also does not require a make on your system - most of the Module::Build code is pure-perl and written in a very cross-platform way. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Build/
