Unused dependency on Module::Build

META.json declares configure-time dependency on Module::Build 0.42. However, the module is not used anywhere. Please remove the module from the meta data.

Can you clarify your development flow? The bug is genuine -- Module::Build is not needed at configure time during end-user installs, since Makefile.PL uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker instead.

Then you probably need to populate prereqs->develop->requires instead. See CPAN::Meta::Spec POD.

At the moment I do thin in a Windows batch file: call ./Build dist Ends in: Creating Makefile.PL Module::Build was not found in configure_requires! Adding it now automatically as: configure_requires => { 'Module::Build' => 0.42 } Created META.yml and META.json Creating Test-HexDifferences-1.000 Creating Test-HexDifferences-1.000.tar.gz In other build tools I missed creating the PPM-Test-HexDifferences-1.000.tar.gz and Test-HexDifferences.ppd files for ActiveState ppm GOING TO FIX.
