I found that I made a mistake when I overrode ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile. In my version, the last evaluated expression was the array of prerequisite modules. If that list was empty, the return value was unintentionally false. That caused its caller to think that the Makefile.PL had exited with a false value (and hence, something must be wrong); Now I always return a true value from my ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteMakefile. Test-Prereq-1.030 fixes this and is on its way to CPAN.
