The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

DSLIP: bdppp

similar:
Module::Build ExtUtils::MakeMaker
rationale:
While updating my OurNet-BBS CPAN dist's Makefile.PL, I ran into
the need of several configure features related to determining
PREREQ_PM's value by default:
- letting user enable/disable optional dependencies. - support sane
defaults by probing for the machine's capability - use CPAN.pm to
download them on demand, whether inside a cpan install or not. -
enable/disable the associated tests automatically. - request for
specific dist versions instead of the newest.
Since I noticed several existing perl application shares similiar
functionalitiesgbarr's modules springs to mind), I wonder if it's
possible to collect such features into a simple interface.
Hence, I wrote ExtUtils::AutoInstall as a proof-of-concept.
