Shouldn't the prereq_report action report on configure_requires if it exists? (And is there a reason why configure_requires is not in prereq_action_types?)
Here's output from M::B 0.33 and one of my own modules that shows the issue: C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Desktop\Blueberry Perl\Work\Module-Build-Functions>type META.yml --- name: Module-Build-Functions version: 0.001_010 author: - 'Curtis Jewell <csjew...@cpan.org>' abstract: Module::Install style syntax for Module::Build license: perl resources: license: http://dev.perl.org/licenses/ configure_requires: Module::Build: 0.31 requires: File::Slurp: 0 perl: 5.005 build_requires: Capture::Tiny: 0.06 Module::Build: 0.31 Test::Compile: 0 Test::More: 0 provides: Module::Build::Functions: file: lib/Module/Build/Functions.pm version: 0.001_010 generated_by: Module::Build version 0.33 meta-spec: url: http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html version: 1.4 C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Desktop\Blueberry Perl\Work\Module-Build-Functions>Build prereq_report build_requires: Module Need Have ----------------+--------+---------- Capture::Tiny 0.06 0.06 Module::Build 0.31 0.33 Test::Compile 0 0.08 Test::More 0 0.86 requires: Module Need Have --------------+---------+---------- File::Slurp 0 9999.13 perl 5.005 5.10.0 After the patch applied to a checkout of r12858: C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Desktop\Blueberry Perl\Work\Module-Build>Build test t\PL_files.t .......... 1/6 # Failed test 'PL_files not installed from bin' # at t\PL_files.t line 48. # Looks like you failed 1 test of 6. t\PL_files.t ..........
