Subject: Special case for "perl" requirment
Module::Build allows you to specify "perl" as a requirement. META.yml 1.4 defines it as a special case. As much as I don't like this special case, CPANPLUS should understand a prerequisite of "perl" as not being a module but on perl itself.

Thanks for reporting. The dev version of CPANPLUS now checks the version of 'perl' for the user if supplied in the Makefile.pl/Build.pl/META.yml
