How serious is this problem for you? perl 5.28.0 should be released very soon, so in the meantime, you should be able to --force this installation. I am hoping we would never have this problem again. But if it is breaking some of your important infrastructure, I will release an update today to soften the version requirement a bit.

I regularly install 700+ modules with a clean perl environment, and Dist::Zilla::Plugin::EnsureLatestPerl is one of them. So for me, this is a problem. But if you think this should be fixed very soon and do not think we need to fix it now, that’s fine and I'm going to find some workaround. Show quoted text

"--force" means "Force install modules even when testing failed" according to "perldoc cpanm". Here, because prereqs are not met, "--force" does not help. On 2018-06-19T11:34:28-04:00, ETHER wrote: Show quoted text

Right, I forgot there was a prereq as well as just a check in the tests! Show quoted text

I checked with p5p and 5.28.0 might be a few days off still... so I have released version 0.008.
