[cgiapp] CGI::Application::Dispatch Install Issues

I've seen quite a few posts on this list concerning 
CGI::Application::Dispatch.  I'd like to try it out.  Installing it, 
however, seems to be a problem.  Since there is no README or INSTALL 
included in the archive, I'm following the normal Makefile.PL (or 
Build.PL) procedures.

[me at unixbox1:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12]> ls
Build.PL     Changes      lib          Makefile.PL  MANIFEST     META.yml  
  t            TODO
[me at unixbox1:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12]> perl Makefile.PL
This module can optionally use Apache::Test to test the mod_perl 
functionality.
Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt called at Makefile.PL 
line 31, <DATA> line 547.
[me at unixbox1:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12]> perl Build.PL
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Module::Build" (perhaps you 
forgot to load "Module::Build"?) at Build.PL line 2.

Is there a known problem with CGI::Application::Dispatch?  How have others 
installed this?

Since its complaining about not finding a MakeMaker sub, the version of 
MakeMaker I'm using is probably relevant:

[me at unixbox1:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12]> perl 
-MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"'
6.30

The Perl version is also probably relevant:

[me at unixbox1:~/perltemp/CGI-Application-Dispatch-2.12]> perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for sun4-solaris

<snip>

I've installed 100s of CPAN modules using these procedures with this build 
of Perl, so I'm comfortable with my environment.
