Subject: Build fails because Makefile.PL assumes Inline::MakeMaker
The regular cpan shell that comes with perl-5.10.1 fails to install Device::USB 0.35, because it can't find Inline::MakeMaker (META.yml does list the dependency, but that doesn't help here): Can't locate Inline/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /...) at Makefile.PL line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 3.

Nowadays the best solution is probably to put the Inline::MakeMaker dependency in META.yml's configure_requires field, so a reasonably new CPAN.pm (>= 1.91_51, which should be part of 5.8.9 and newer) can deal with it automatically. Regards, Slaven

Thank you for reporting this error. I'll be doing a release later today to take care of this issue.

Added configure_requires parameter for Inline::MakeMaker. Thanks for pointing this resolution out. I had missed it when I was setting this up.
