I'd imagine that for CC, you'd need all perl modules installed to |
| 11 |
BDEPEND _and_ DEPEND _AND_ RDEPEND, |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Because the configure stage runs Makefile.PL on the host perl, and it |
| 14 |
checks the existence of all "runtime" and "compile time" dependencies |
| 15 |
itself, and it does this by *loading* them into the host perl. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Failure to load them on the host perl produces lots of warnings in the |
| 18 |
best of cases, and errors in the worst of cases. |
