Subject: No Makefile.PL
Accidentally deleted? Preventing installation of other modules.

The Makefile.PL has been removed intentionally. It's been a fake Makefile.PL created by Module::Build. Those are known to cause trouble. Use Build.PL instead.

CPAN doesn't know anything about using Build.PL. So when there's a big list of modules to install and this one is a dependency, it will cause the installation of the rest of the chain to fail. I happened to be installing Catalyst, which has lots of dependencies. It took me much more time than I'd like to admit to figure out which module was failing and why. What about having a simple Makefile.PL that just calls Build.PL and emulates the standard cpan-driven install tasks of perl Makefile.PL && make && make test && make install? Thanks, Troy

It does, as of version 1.81, which has been released about 4 years ago.

And suddenly it installs without problem.... Now I don't know what the problem was, sorry to bother you.
