I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.
Module-Build

build Module-Build using modules installed in personal library
I have been unsuccessfully in figuring out how Module-Build can be built using modules installed in a my home directory. I don't have access to install the modules in the distribution of perl that is on my machine. here's what i'm running currently:
$ perl Build.PL destdir=~/perl Checking whether your kit is complete... Looks good * Optional prerequisite Module::Signature isn't installed * Optional prerequisite Archive::Tar isn't installed * Optional prerequisite ExtUtils::CBuilder isn't installed ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES. You may wish to install the versions of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation. Feature 'YAML_support' disabled because of the following prerequisite failures: * Prerequisite YAML isn't installed Deleting Build Removed previous script 'Build' Creating new 'Build' script for 'Module-Build' version '0.2611'

Re: build Module-Build using modules installed in personal library
Try to add -I switch to your perl call. In case of using --destdir param the "./Build test" call will fail if some modules from your local reporitory are required.
