	Actually I did tell it where to find the scripts. Here's the root
of my problem:

tex at peace:~/tmp> perldoc Module::Build | grep -i shebang
tex at peace:~/tmp> 

	No, I didn't take the time to root around the source code to look for
interesting subs. But I probably should. I'd like to contribute something
to such a critical part of Perl, and docs are always helpful.
