| Subject: | Can't locate inc/Module/Install.pm in @INC |
With newer perls, and if Module::Install is not yet installed, installation fails:
...
Output from '/opt/perl-5.26.0/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site':

In newer perls the dot may be missing in @INC. So I see two possibilities to fix the problem:
* add something like
use lib ".";
to the top of Makefile.PL
* don't bundle Module::Install at all, but declare a configure_requires dependency on it (not sure if this could work though).
