Yes, I would find that very annoying.
I don't use any of the CPAN family of modules very much - I avoid them
unless there's a very long dependency chain.
Consequently, I don't know much about the options they provide, or about the
details of the way in which they're supposed to work.
Did David's reply help ?
The only thing I can think of adding to what David provided is that, if
you're happy to accept the default, then setting the PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT
environment variable to 1 should enable that. (The default will be 'y' if a
compiler is found, and 'n' if a compiler is not found.)
Cheers,
Rob
