`Module::Build' is a system for building, testing, and installing Perl modules. It is meant to be an alternative to `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. It is recommended to install perl-extutils-cbuilder and perl-extutils-parsexs before you install perl-module-build, though it is not required. It will also make use of yaml, if available. All of which are available from SlackBuilds.org.
