Working on an automated build system for multiple computers on multiple
platforms...
I realized that 'perl Build.PL' doesn't return a failure exit status
when dependencies are missing. Do CPAN/CPANPLUS not check this?
I added a 'check' action to my subclass which just calls check_prereq(),
but this means I'm running the prereq scan twice ('perl Build.PL
&& ./Build check').
Would it be reasonable to add a --strict-dep option or something to make
it die in new()? Alternatively, I could go for something that skips it
in new() or a sub-part like init_checks() to be overridden.
Thanks,
Eric
