| Subject: | Automatic Installtion of Module::Build |
Dear William McKee,
Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I'm current acting as a CPAN
tester and running tests for all the uploaded CPAN packages daily.
It seems that your Petal-Utils-0.06 requires the installation of
Module::Build, and default to "y" for install. It prevents CPAN testers
from running automated tests.
As a CPAN tester testing 40-50 modules per day, I really cannot test
every package and check their input alone. We are running tests without
STDIN input. Also because of the unstable nature of the newly-uploaded
modules, we really cannot install anything onto our system during the
test process.
As a result, your Petal-Utils-0.06 by default to run
CPAN::Shell->install('Module::Build::Compat') always fail, entering an
endless loop, using up all our CPU and system resources and preventing
us from offering valuable
test reports to other CPAN authors..
Could you please help solving this issue, by not using
CPAN->install('Module::Build')? You may provide a Makefile.PL of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. It is really very simple. You may refer to the
example of my own module:

Thank you very much. You are greatly appreciated by the large CPAN
family.
