> All, > I committed a preliminary patch for config_requires support. Thanks! The example code in the META-spec.pod erroneously says build_requires still. Instead of "These dependencies are not required after the module is installed." I'd say "not necessarilty required". Otherwise looks very nice. > I haven't figured out the right thing to do vis-a-vis automatically > adding M::B to config_requires. My current thinking about is that it would be too redundant to add MB itself to config_requires because the fact that a Build.PL exists currently always means that Module::Build is needed. This might theoretically change in the future but I do not see it coming and given that MB is in 5.10 makes it even less of an issue. I'd suggest we use config_requires for the non-obvious things like DBI for some DBD modules and such. -- andreas
