Subject: Fails to install configure_requires modules from META.yml
[ERROR] [Fri Apr 10 23:28:00 2009] This module requires 'Module::Build' and 'CPANPLUS::Dist::Build' to be installed, but you don't have it! Will fall back to 'CPANPLUS::Dist::MM', but might not be able to install! Which is really dumb. It's worked out that it needs M::B and CP::D:B but fails to do the obvious, which is to install them. Instead it says that *I* don't have them and fails to create a working Makefile.PL which in turn leads to failed CPAN testers report. Thanks for nothing. CPANPLUS needs to specify Module::Build and CPANPLUS::Dist::Build as dependencies so that if someone installs CPANPLUS then they have a full kit of parts not an installer with bits missing

Thanks for your report; this is exactly what the development releases of CPANPLUS now do: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KANE/CPANPLUS-0.85_07/ChangeLog A stable release is expected in the coming days, so stay tuned. Cheers,
