Thanks for the report. We're aware that MakeMaker cause some issues with automatic CPAN packagers. Bootstrapping is a bit messy. Packagers should *delete inc/ before packaging* and fill in the dependencies on ExtUtils::Install, Manifest and Command. ExtUtils::Install, Manifest and Command should *not* be part of a MakeMaker package. I've written up some basic instructions in an INSTALL file. http://github.com/schwern/extutils-makemaker/raw/master/INSTALL -- 170.
