Subject:

Please remove configure requirements

I am trying to test one of my modules, which depends on Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat, with perl 5.8.7. A stock 5.8.7 installation does not support configure_requires, which causes headaches. (I’ll spare you the details.) In any case, HUFHC does if (not has_module('Hash::Util::FieldHash')) { whereas it could simply do if (! eval 'require Hash::Util::FieldHash') { and save having to load more modules. (This would make installation in newer perls faster, too.) Then the has_module sub can be deleted. I don’t know how you go about doing this within the Dist::Zilla framework.

Er, of course braces would be better than quotes. Show quoted text

My sympathies, and I understand! :) 0.11 drops the use of Module::Metadata in configure-requires.
