Following up, from CPANPLUS 0.85_01: * Address: #31279: CPANPLUS should automatically install Module::Build and necessary tools. We now automatically add CPANPLUS::Dist::Build to 'configure_requires' when it's needed to install a module and not present There have been additional fixes to configure_requires in 0.85_05 and 0.85_06 to make sure it works for CPANPLUS::Dist::Build. -- David
