I'm really confused. Some details might help. The report gives this: PROGRAM OUTPUT -- Output from '/usr/bin/make test': perl Build.PL Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Module::Build module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl

Ok. Will try that. Thanks! (Module::Build *is* in "configure_requires" already, but I do distribute Makefile.PL) What I don't understand though is why the failures are intermittent. It happens right now only on *certain* GNU/Linux smokers .
