Bug #45749 for CPAN: Prereqs Not Followed

I'm using CPAN 1.9304. It's failing to install prereqs, even though I have 'prerequisites_policy' => q[follow], For example, here's an attempt to install Exception::Class ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cpan[44]> install Exception::Class Running install for module 'Exception::Class' Running make for D/DR/DROLSKY/Exception-Class-1.27.tar.gz Prepending /home/david/.cpan/build/Lexical-Attributes-2009040601- TAS16Q/blib/arch /home/david/.cpan/build/Lexical-Attributes-2009040601- TAS16Q/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'get' Fetching with LWP: ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/CPAN/authors/id/D/DR/DROLSKY/Exception-Class-1.27.tar.gz Checksum for /home/david/.cpan/sources/authors/id/D/DR/DROLSKY/ Exception-Class-1.27.tar.gz ok Exception-Class-1.27/ Exception-Class-1.27/t/ Exception-Class-1.27/t/ignore.t Exception-Class-1.27/t/caught.t Exception-Class-1.27/t/pod.t Exception-Class-1.27/t/basic.t Exception-Class-1.27/t/pod-coverage.t Exception-Class-1.27/.shipit Exception-Class-1.27/META.yml Exception-Class-1.27/Changes Exception-Class-1.27/MANIFEST Exception-Class-1.27/Makefile.PL Exception-Class-1.27/lib/ Exception-Class-1.27/lib/Exception/ Exception-Class-1.27/lib/Exception/Class.pm Exception-Class-1.27/SIGNATURE Exception-Class-1.27/LICENSE Exception-Class-1.27/Build.PL Prepending /home/david/.cpan/build/Lexical-Attributes-2009040601- TAS16Q/blib/arch /home/david/.cpan/build/Lexical-Attributes-2009040601- TAS16Q/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'make' CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DR/DROLSKY/Exception-Class-1.27.tar.gz Checking whether your kit is complete...
