Hi,
i've now came across numerous CPAN modules that use old versions of
Module::Install. This makes us hit bugs that are in many cases fixed
already, for example we can't set CONFIGURE_ARGS=--skipdeps to prevent
the annoying interactive prompt/endless loop in a few cases.
I hereby suggest adding CONFIGURE_STYLE=modinst that pulls in
Module::Install (like done with Module::Build), sets
CONFIGURE_ARGS=--skipdeps and forces regeneration of the Module::Install
stuff. This way we could get rid of upstream distribution bugs and a
lot of head scratching.
Thoughts?
Kind regards,
Simon
