configure_requires is in the META.yml blead spec. CPAN has support for it as of 1.92. Unfortunately, the most common smoke testing setup is YACSmoke, which uses CPANPLUS. > What I'd like, though, is to at least stem/slow the number of CPAN testers > failures or at least get them turned into something more like "no idea; build > environment not suitable for this module". At least with CPAN, I think that if you just exit the Makefile.PL without creating a Makefile, then CPAN::Reporter won't FAIL it, but CPAN notices that no Makefile was created and won't continue. But you have to exit (exit value 0), not die. I don't know if CPANPLUS follows the same logic. Regards, David Golden
