we dont care about what it says in the Makefile.PL but what it says in the generated Makefile (with a regex that comes straight from ExtUtils::MakeMaker itself) regarding prereqs..
you can test it in the shell by typing:

! print Dumper $cpan->module_tree->{'POE::Component::IRC::Object'}

check for the key 'prereqs' and see what it says...

It say nothing, but too for other modules:
Terminal CPAN> !print Dumper $cpan->module_tree->{'POE::Component::IRC::Object'}
$VAR1 = bless( {
'_id' => 1,
'status' => {},
'version' => '0.02',
'dslip' => ' ',
'author' => 'MSERGEANT',
'path' => 'M/MS/MSERGEANT',
'description' => '',
'package' => 'POE-Component-IRC-Object-0.02.tar.gz',
'prereqs' => {},
'comment' => '',
'module' => 'POE::Component::IRC::Object'
}, 'CPANPLUS::Internals::Module' );

Terminal CPAN> !print Dumper $cpan->module_tree->{'HTML::Parser'}
$VAR1 = bless( {
'_id' => 1,
'status' => {},
'version' => '3.27',
'dslip' => 'RmcO',
'author' => 'GAAS',
'path' => 'G/GA/GAAS',
'description' => 'Basic HTML Parser',
'package' => 'HTML-Parser-3.27.tar.gz',
'prereqs' => {},
'comment' => '',
'module' => 'HTML::Parser'
}, 'CPANPLUS::Internals::Module' );

also, you have prereqs set to automatically follow? otherwise, it'll probably not work indeed...

Of course I automatically follow links. I use 0.042.
