  Mon Jul 02 00:06:21 2007 mschwern [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: Look in META.yml for MakeMaker or Module::Build upgrade
Right now its difficult to impossible for a module to depend on a new version of MakeMaker or Module::Build. This is because dependencies are resolved after Makefile.PL / Build.PL are run. As a result new features of MakeMaker and Module::Build are very difficult to depend on. If CPAN would look in the META.yml for a requires or build_requires on ExtUtils::MakeMaker or Module::Build and immediately resolve that dependency, before running Makefile.PL or Build.PL, that would ease this problem.

I'm working on this. "configure_requires" was added recently to the meta yaml spec and it demands exactly that.
