I just uploaded a module to CPAN that depends on some other modules, which I also uploaded. I thought I put the prereq information in Makefile.PL correctly, but after uploading I got an email from cpansmoke@alternation.net complaining that this module wouldn't run because Perl couldn't locate the modules it requires.

The module is RFID::Alien. It requires RFID::Base and RFID::EPC. The Makefile.PL says (excuse the spacing): 

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

WriteMakefile(
          NAME            => 'RFID::Alien',
          VERSION_FROM    => 'lib/RFID/Alien/Reader.pm',
          PREREQ_PM       => {
        RFID::Tag              => 0.002,
        RFID::EPC::Tag         => 0.002,
        RFID::Reader           => 0.002,
        RFID::Reader::Serial   => 0.002,
        RFID::Reader::TestBase => 0.002,
        RFID::Reader::TCP      => 0.002,
            POSIX                  => 0,
        Time::Local            => 0,
        Carp                   => 0,
                Exporter               => 0,
             warnings               => 0,
        constant               => 0,
          },
          );

Here's part of the message I get from the smoke tests:

What else do I need to do? Thanks!
