Here's the most recent example of such failures: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/cb01432c-6737-11e2-992e-e7c00a4a7996 As you can see, only the configure_requires dependencies have been installed. *Some* of the runtime requirements are in @INC via their blib directories, but not all -- and the compilation tests fail immediately because Moose is one of the missing dependencies. Moose is clearly identified as a prereq in the metadata, both a v1.4 META.yml and a v2.0 META.json file and Makefile.PL. FWIW, this type of failure was also recently reported here: http://blogs.perl.org/users/joel_berger/2013/01/alienbase---progress-and-problems.html
