Subject: configure_requires causes PREREQ_PM to be ignored
Date: Sun, 23 May 2010 14:07:11 -0700
To: bug-CPAN [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Father Chrysostomos <sprout [...] cpan.org>
CPAN.pm 1.9456: cpan[1]> install DBD::SQLite ... Show quoted text
---- Unsatisfied dependencies detected during ---- ---- ADAMK/DBD-SQLite-1.29.tar.gz ---- DBI [build_requires] Shall I follow them and prepend them to the queue of modules we are processing right now? [yes] ... T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.611.tar.gz is just needed temporarily during building or testing. Do you want to install it permanently? [yes] no ... Then DBD::SQLite installs, but it doesn’t work because prerequisites are missing. That last prompt is simply not telling the truth, as DBD::SQLite also has requries in its PREREQ_PM. So either the question should come later, after the Makefile has been scanned for prerequisites, or the answer should be ignored if Makefile lists the same module.

I meant it has DBI in its PREREQ_PM.

Seems to be resolved in 1.94_57 which I just uploaded a few seconds ago. Thanks for the report!
