Version 0.36, eh?
We currently list Module::Build in Build.PL under build_requires:
build_requires => {
'Module::Build' => 0.280801,
Version 0.280801 is the version that shipped with Perl 5.10.0, when
Module::Build was added to the Perl core. We don't want to require M::B
version 0.36 -- that's silly and unnecessary.
But maybe it's OK for M::B to add itself like that under configure_requires
because versions prior to 0.36 ignored configure_requires? I'm speculating...
David Wheeler has agreed to perform the CPAN release for Lucy 0.2.2. David,
can you please make sure that M::B doesn't force its minimum required version
to 0.36 when you run ./Build dist?
And then probably adding this line to Build.PL would be OK for both trunk and
our 0.2 branch (assuming that the 0.2 branch has a life beyond 0.2.2, which
may not be the case.)
configure_requires => { 'Module::Build' => 0.280801 }
