Dear Nathan -- I see two things going on.
1) I think that CPAN.pm might have a bug where it's not finding
prerequisites because the PL failed. In this case, you have
Makefile.PL running Build.PL. There's some funky logic in CPAN.pm to
know when/where it can get prerequisites and maybe the use of
Module::Build::Compat is confusing it. (Andreas -- what about reading
YAML regardless of the result of the PL phase?)
2) Your Build.PL subclass has "use DBI" -- but that code gets loaded
by M::B to create your subclass. So you're guaranteed to fail if DBI
isn't installed. This isn't something that "build_requires" can
address -- build_requires are only satisfied after the PL file runs.
Instead, you have a few options:
* Use the bleeding_edge "configure_requires" option in META.yml, which
isn't widely supported yet, that is intended to get things installed
before calling Makefile.PL or Build.PL
* Change your "use DBI" to "require DBI" and put that inside your
ACTION_test subroutine so it isn't called until the test phase (when
presumably, your prerequisites pull it in).
* Move your DBI code into a PL file that gets called during the "make"
or "Build" stage. (I *think* that build_requires will be satisfied by
then, but I'm not 100% sure.)
I hope these ideas are helpful.
Regards,
David Golden
