G'day Rob,

++ Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate you going to the effort to run some tests.

I'm creating a series of distributions for testing injection to, and installation from, a DarkPAN (see "Setting up and accessing a DarkPAN" for some background on that if you're interested). The distributions contain a variety of different types of modules (pure Perl, Moose, etc.) with various associations (inheritance, composition, etc.). At this stage, I'm mostly interested in checking that missing modules in the dependency hierarchies are installed correctly (from the correct sources, i.e. CPAN or DarkPAN). Once my tests are complete, I'll be passing on the distributions to others to repeat and confirm results.

The use of VERBINST was intended to provide useful feedback during the testing. I don't think output peppered with (bogus) warnings would be helpful at all. For now, I'm planning to just omit the VERBINST parameter from Makefile.PL.

Unless I receive information suggesting otherwise, I'll raise a bug report: probably give it a week for any further responses to be posted and I'll provide an RT link in an update.

— Ken
