     135    <para>The Module::Build module is a system for building, testing, and
     136    installing <application>Perl</application> modules. It is meant to be an
     137    alternative to ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Developers may alter the behavior of
     138    the module through subclassing in a much more straightforward way than with
     139    MakeMaker. It also does not require a <command>make</command> command on
     140    your system. Most of the Module::Build code is
     141    pure-<application>Perl</application> and written in a very cross-platform
     142    way.</para>

     660    that provides greater flexibility and stability. With the exception of

     663    context).</para>

     668    after unpacking the distribution tarball and changing into the top-level
