in thread Gather and check dependencies w/o Makefile.PL

Hi Corion,

Okay, thanks, I built a Makefile.PL with ExtUtils::MakeMaker that has the advantage of being a core module I just looked it up (I am absolutely new to building makefiles and CPAN distributions). Did I overlook something or doesn't the generated Makefile contain a target for installing dependencies? Whatever, with cpanm --installdeps it works well.

    Installing dependencies is done by the surrounding tool, be it cpan, cpanm or cpanp. It's not the task of the Makefile generated by Makefile.PL.
