Hi,
I've been watching my automated CPAN smokers recently and observed XML::Feed is causing some problems.
Notably the Module::AutoInstall shipped with XML-Feed is old and broken. It attempts to use CPAN to install
prereqs even if the calling framework is CPANPLUS.
As my perl-5.10.0 based smokers do not have CPAN configured an hour of smoking time is lost every time XML-Feed is
required by other modules, as it goes into a spin-loop trying to configure CPAN.
Could you please either abandon Module::AutoInstall as per Adam Kennedy's suggestion in ticket #20575 or
punt a new release with an updated Module::Install that will do the right thing[tm].
Until I see a new release I will have to exclude XML::Feed from my smokers.
Many thanks in advance,
