Subject: Solve the MakeMaker upgrade issue.
Currently, one cannot easily depend on a newer version of MakeMaker than the one installed. Dependency resolution usually happens *after* Makefile.PL is run. There are several things which can be done to fix this. * Make the CPAN shells do dependency resolution based on the META.yml before Makefile.PL is run. * Have the CPAN shells look at META.yml to see if a MakeMaker or Module::Build upgrade is needed and do that before Makefile.PL is run. * Have some way to ship MakeMaker with your module, a la Module::Install, but defaulting to a newer version if available. * Have MakeMaker update itself when there's a new stable available as most installers do.
