in thread Requring minimum perl version in a cpanfile

It's not going on cpan, so it's not going to use a build tool. No EUMM, no MB. Just "cpanm --installdeps ."

    If you were to use EUMM instead of cpanfile, cpanm --installdeps . would still work but you could specify your minimum Perl version.

Re^3: Requring minimum perl version in a cpanfile ( inc::Module::Install )

    Your Makefile.PL can be as simple as 

    use inc::Module::Install;
name 'Dist-Name';
all_from 'lib/Dist/Name.pm';
do 'cpanfile'; ## as cpanfile uses Module::Install syntax
perl_version '5.666'; ## make it die
WriteAll;

    See Module::Install

      I think if you want to

      use inc::Module::Install;

      [download]

      You will need to push '.' onto @INC starting with Perl 5.26.

      So likely the belt-and-suspenders approach would be

      use lib '.';
use inc::Module::Install;

        No, no I don't think so, that would be hella stupid :)
