Hello,
I see that you used Dist::Zilla v2.101040 to build the dist.
Unfortunately, there was a bug in the way
dzil managed the requires. It simply deleted the prereqs instead of
managing them intelligently.
In the changelog for v2.101151:
better BUILD_REQUIRES treatment on ancient installer-side EU:MM
(David Golden)
So, all you need to do is re-release your dist with a updated
Dist::Zilla and it should work better :)
Welcome to CPAN!
