perhaps he meant:

perldoc -m Module::Build |grep -i shebang

Although I can't imagine it would have been very useful.  In either
case, I think its about time Perl started allowing people to install
modules under Windows without downloading your own c compiler and make
program.  (And don't try to tell me Activestate does it, bleh).  The
best thing I have seen so far is PAR (par.perl.org), but it still
requires that the maintainer build the par file under the target
platforms (so the XS code can be correctly stored or generated, I'm
not sure which)

Good luck and I'd like to know how it turns out.
