Yup, see inc/latest.pm in the M::B svn tree. It's a not-yet-ready first attempt at that. Keep in mind that the only easy use case for it is for build_requires stuff. True runtime requirements ought to still be fetched from CPAN as per usual. > > The other attraction to Module::Install is the interface. People seem to > like > it.
