On my smokers I see build failures like this:
...
Output from '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL':

Looking at Makefile.PL it seems that the extra check for the two dependencies is causing this problem --- best is to remove this check completely. The PREREQ_PM declaration is enough, so installers like cpanminus or CPAN.pm automatically install the dependencies.
