| Subject: | Makefile.PL fails: Can't call method "load_all_extensions" on an undefined value |
While attempting to provide a patch for https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=124691 (which refers to Perl 5 core issue https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/16429), I forked this module from its github repository.

I then installed all its prerequisites and attempted to build. Makefile.PL failed like this:
#####
$ perl Makefile.PL
Can't call method "load_all_extensions" on an undefined value at inc/Module/Install.pm line 206.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 5.

Thru the debugger:
#####
$ perl -d Makefile.PL

Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'man perldebug' for more help.

Can you investigate?
Thank you very much.
