What are recommendations the tools that you use to build, test, automate change logs, and release your CPAN modules? About 2 years ago I used Module::Release, but at this point I'm looking to re-evaluate my options.
Module::Install works for all of my distributions, and a combination of svk, ShipIt, Module::Changes and Dist::Joseki makes releasing all painless.
It's a bit involved though; I'd like to write about my toolchain if and when I get the time...
What don't you like, or what is missing, from Module::Release that would make it work for you? Maybe I can fix that.

I remember that after version 1.12 (the patch you got from Ken Williams) the module stopped working for me. I had to backport to an old version to get things going again.
I should have dug a bit and let you know what broke, but I was too lazy at the time. (My own fault) Looking now, it seems there are hooks for svn and git so it looks like I'll give it another go.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything to use.perl.org and I'm wondering if I'm missing the link to edit the contents of my previous comment.Re:What do I need to fix?

There is no spoon.

Let me know if there is anything else you need in Module::Release.
The trick, however, is not to rely on what Module::Release does, but how it does it so you can extend it on your own. I never really meant it to be used out of the box. Customize the release script to do whatever you need it to do.
