I agree with this point -- particularly for configure_requires. However, for this particular case, I should mention that I've patched M::B to bump the version to 0.340201 in blead and sent Dave M the commit id to cherry pick into maint-5.10 for RC2. The same version is released to CPAN. Once cherry-picked, 5.10.1 will no longer have a dev release of Module::Build. This fixes the problem for people like Elliot without introducing new code changes during the RC cycle. -- David
