The 'configure' step is when you run Makefile.PL. And because there's no META.yml, the only way to find out what the configure_requires modules are is to run Makefile.PL. By the time that has put the resulting data into Makefile it's too late to actually *use* that data. Change the CONFIGURE_REQUIRES to BUILD_REQUIRES and CPAN clients should DTRT. -- David Cantrell | Minister for Arbitrary Justice "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary" -- H.
