This is a known bug (a type of circular dependency) in Module::Build that they can't fix.
No, that's a different bug. (Though it relates in that it makes workarounds harder.) This bug is the result of CPANPLUS trying to be clever and "falling back" to generating a Makefile.PL from a Build.PL. Add to that the dysfunctional CPANPLUS::Dist::Build fork and the fact that many CPANPLUS-based smokers don't pre-install those additonal modules. There's plenty of blame to strew about here. That said, i agree in the meantime that providing a traditional Makefile.PL along with a Build.PL is usually a wise approach, as Chris suggested. David
