  Mon Jul 29 03:31:54 2013 d.thomas [...] its.uq.edu.au - Ticket created
Subject: prerequisites missing from META.*
prerequisites missing from META.* JSON-Any-1.30 FAILs its test and doesn't get installed with my build system which uses META.* files to determine dependencies and order the build of distros to satisfy those dependencies. no JSON* modules are listed in Makefile.PL or META.* JSON-Any-1.29 had META.yml with requires: Carp: 0 JSON: 2.02 JSON::Syck: 0 JSON::XS: 2.3 though I'm not sure these are all needed, perhaps just any one?

forgot to mention under perl-5.16.3 more importantly while the tests PASS, I use a separate definition of build/install success: a test script "use JSON::Any;" fails

It's reasonable for them to not show up in META.*, as this module uses dynamic configuration, but some should show up in MYMETA.* after running the Makefile.PL. That's not happening, so there's definitely a problem still. We should be prompting interactively to request which implementation(s) you prefer to install. Show quoted text

Correct, just one is needed.

Dynamic dependencies are computed at install time -- if you don't have any backends installed, you get JSON::PP; otherwise (if at least one backend is already installed), no backends are depended on at all. Note that if "dynamic_config" is set to true in META.yml, you cannot depend on the dependencies listed therein; you *must* run Makefile.PL on the target system to determine the true dependencies. (This is following the specification in CPAN::Meta::Spec.)
