This is the right answer. Things required for xt should not be in build_requires as they do not impact the build/test/install cycle. > And how do I petition the Module::Build author to put this in the spec > (optional of course) Usually, discussion seems to happen on the module-build mailing list, but last year the QA Hackathon seemed to be the place to debate extensions like the one you mentioned. There was some consideration last year of breaking out build/test/install requires further but there was no consensus for it. One of the issues is that it introduces yet another round of CPAN/CPANPLUS upgrades, so in your example, you'd need to have a "configure_requires" that lists a newer CPAN/CPANPLUS. My opinion is that changing META.yml for the sake of Kwalitee is not a good idea. -- David
