I really don't understand that response. I have merely informed you how 
Build.PL and the actions work, since you didn't know. I have informed 
you it already does what you want in terms of automation; there's 
nothing to wait for, no more work to do. I have requested you use it, 
since there is little value in duplicating code and effort.

Now that you have the information, you can make an informed choice as to 
how to proceed, based on your needs. If you have good reasons for 
sticking with your current nightly build process, by all means stick 
with them.

Mainly I just wanted to make clear (as a general point for anyone 
interested) that the questions asked by Build.PL aren't an issue or 
obstacle in terms of automating builds or tests.
