While ExtUtils::PkgConfig is now available and could find htslib, the rules file was setting HTSLIB_DIR and so was trying to find it there (which failed there). By not doing that, Build.PL was continuing down the methods to find the htslib until it tries ExtUtils::PkgConfig. I have pushed 8835cdb8c66fadc5ca which fixes that. My build system is a bit old so I had to reduce the compat version to 11 to test it. I also changed some others things that you may have different opinion of. Best Regards, David
