Looks good Feature 'YAML_support' enabled. Deleting Build Removed previous script 'Build' Creating new 'Build' script for 'Module-Build' version '0.2606' * ERROR: Configuration was initially created with Module::Build version '0.2605', but we are now using version '0.2606'. Please re-run the Build.PL or Makefile.PL script. [kane@myriad ~...build/Module-Build-0.2606]$

RT-Send-Cc:

This shouldn't be *expected* to work. The Build.PL script should be run in its own process, not via do(). The "use Module::Build; do 'Build.PL';" just ensures that the Build.PL script isn't using the version of Module::Build it thinks it's loading. So of course it breaks. What motivates this use case? -Ken
