I was not questioning the fact that the presence of Makefile.PL or 
Build.PL is taken as a 'fixed point' (if I get your point ;-) just 
asking if something similar to "if you don't use helper scripts to 
generate the skeleton app, remember to put Makefile.PL or Build.PL..." 
etc. should be said somewhere in the docs.
