I'd love to say "no problem", but in fact I do run into several problems when I try to do that. First is the problem that inc::latest requires a packlist for M::B. I do not have the faintest idea what should go into the packlist. Perl packlists contain absolute file names. What file names should go in the packlist for inc::latest? Second problem is that newer M::B require versions of perl modules that are not yet normally found in distros: ExtUtils::CBuilder (0.24) is installed, but we need version >= 0.27 ExtUtils::ParseXS (2.18_02) is installed, but we need version >= 2.21 ExtUtils::Manifest (1.51_01) is installed, but we prefer to have 1.54 YAML::Tiny (1.31) is installed, but we need version >= 1.38 ExtUtils::Install (1.44) is installed, but we need version >= 1.54 ExtUtils::Installed (1.43) is installed, but we need version >= 1.999 Software::License is not installed What minimal version of M::B has sufficient support for prereq ? As a side note: Do I really need things like E::CBuilder and E::ParseXS to install a perl-only module? -- Johan
