Subject: Installation problems caused by configure_requires
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 22:08:44 -0700
To: Florian Ragwitz <rafl [...] debian.org>, bug-B-Hooks-Parser [...] rt.cpan.org, bug-Devel-Declare [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Father Chrysostomos <sprout [...] cpan.org>
Both B::Hooks::Parser and Devel::Declare have installation problems on a brand new perl 5.10.1 installation (or any earlier version), because the CPAN.pm included does not properly support configure_requires. It requires YAML to be installed first. I wrote Module::ConfigureRequires to work around this problem. Could you consider using it for those two modules?
The toolchain has got better at configure_requires. I don't think there's any need to work around it.
