Monolithic [IDE]s are also build tools, but some [IDE]s interface to specialist build tools (VisualStudio with nmake, [Emacs] with make(1) or [Ant]). The BuildTools for some high level [ProgrammingLanguage]s are written in the language itself (such as the __distutils__ package for [Python] programs and the somewhat new __Module::Build__ module for [Perl] programs).
