That's strange -- all of the installs I've done were with 
Module::Build.  The entire build process relies on it, and it was 
definitely working when I released things.  Is this a recurring 
problem?  Perhaps some functionality that Pangloss relies on has 
changed in M::B?  I know a lot of stuff's been happening on the M::B 
list.

Is this still a problem?  If so, I will investigate after my current 
contract ends.

I've added that to the list.

Well, you get the flat HTML page, so the webserver's working.  But the 
application isn't - so maybe it's not loading the controller?  Try 
running it with 3 "-d" switches for some diagnostics.
