Module::Build 0.24 should be out soon, which will fix this problem.
Speaking of which .. when I install the module I really want (on a virgin machine), letting CPAN handle dependencies:
cpan> install DateTime::Format::Strptime
I get a list of dependencies which CPAN asks about and then heads off to build, however if I haven't previously installed Module::Build lots isn't installed (plus M:B seems to go ahead even if tests of a dependency have failed)
This is on a Mac OS-X 10.3.2 with Dev Tools 1.1.
I can't give more technical info at this point except that I need to install Module::Build before I install anything that depends on it. I'll be doing another virgin install later in the week if you're interested in some sort of output. But I'm led to ask: Is Module::Build really robust enough to switch from MakeMaker to Module::Build?
Cheers! Rick
