I agree that the requires need to be there. The question I have is if it actually finds them all. The other issue is places where the CPAN module needs a library that is not a CPAN module. (Called via XS.) I don't know if your code covers that case. (CPAN.pm does not.) -- Alan <alan clueserver org>
