Looks good and then the build and self-test run without any further warnings or errors. If I comment out the 'use Module::Install::*' parts at the beginning of Makefile.PL, leaving just inc::Module::Install: # Load the Module::Install bundled in ./inc/ use inc::Module::Install; #use Module::Install::AuthorRequires; #use Module::Install::ReadmeFromPod; #use Module::Install::GithubMeta; #use Module::Install::AutoLicense; The generated Makefile is identical either way. Does inc::M::I bring in all the M::I submodules auomatically? dan -- Daniel Macks dmacks@netspace.org

The extra 'use' lines are supposed to be harmless, and are there just as sugar for a developer who otherwise might not know what MI plugins are required by Makefile.PL, as recommended by Module::Install::FAQ: If you feel sorry about the inconvenience for your fellow contributors, you may want to add explicitly "use Module::Install::<ExtensionYouWantToUse>;" after "use inc::Module::Install;" in your Makefile.PL. It doesn't do any harm, and it makes clear which extensions they need to install. As such, this problem sounds like a M::I problem, so I'm bumping this ticket over to its queue.
