This may actually be an issue with Module::Build itself.
All "installdeps" does is fire up a CPAN client with a list of missing dependencies. Normally, that should resolve dependencies of dependencies. (Note that they may not have CPAN configured to install build dependencies.) If someone can provide a log of the output then maybe we can diagnose the "problem" better. Or have them install App::cpanminus and then try with "--cpan_client cpanm". That would help figure out of if it's a bug in CPAN or in Module::Build. -- David
