Bug #116089 for JSON-MaybeXS: Document whether installing this will try and install any other JSON modules

Subject:

Document whether installing this will try and install any other JSON modules

Chatting to GENEHACK, I wondered whether installing this on a vanilla perl install will try and install any of the JSON modules? Sure I could look at the dist / do a test install, but given the nature / purpose of this module, I think it would be good to explicitly mention in the doc.

Yes, on a virgin perl install, you'll get Cpanel::JSON::XS, unless you are in a pure perl installation (e.g. have no compiler). This can certainly be documented.

I've done this in 1.003008. Let me know if I can improve the wording further; thanks!
