Module::Build should be good back to 5.6.0, and possibly 5.005 if you're
careful.  I'm using it on all my modules.  (I had breakage on 5.005, but
it was because I was using things introduced in 5.6 in my Build.PL.)

You'd probably be interested in this recent thread on the Module::Build
mailing list:
 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.module.build/2008/02/msg1255.html

It discusses EU::MM vs. Module::Build vs. Module::Install.  It's worth
mentioning that Michael G Schwern is the current MakeMaker maintainer.  He
recommends Module::Build.
