Re^2: Warnings when trying to install Pod::Coverage::Moose

The warning is actually from the Makefile.PL file. It exists as a fallback, but a properly behaving CPAN client (or other tool that installs modules) should always prefer a Build.PL if it exists.

I explicitly prefer the Makefile.PL way of doing things. Yes, me too. And the suggestion that some ad-hoc method of installing modules from CPAN should take precedence over a procedure that's already in the perl CORE is (at best) counter-intuitive. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
