Thanks. That makes for an interesting reading.

Yeah, probably unrelated.

Same here.


Summary: Running "{/usr/bin/perl ,./}Build test", manually or from
CDBS, seems to break with the new Module::Build.

So if CDBS could be changed, than all but one of those bugs would be
gone.

I just don't immediatly see how: debhelper has since
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debhelper/debhelper.git/commit/?id=f7d8a068eb3394e76409535c8ebb7ab04758ef35
CDBS according to #833783 does the same - both seem to only add -I.
for the configure step.

Hm. Is there a difference between:
perl -I. Build.PL # debhelper
perl Build.PL -I. # cdbs
?

Cheers,
gregor
