[Padre-dev] Fwd: [rt.cpan.org #48277] Algorithm::Diff should be listed as a dependency.

[Mark Grimes]

Thanks Curtis, but I think those settings would stop ALL prereqs from being
installed. I expect he would run into a ton of failures if no
dependencies were followed.
I was thinking of something that would just skip "build_prereq"s -- in
MakeMaker terms, CONFIGURE_REQUIRES vs PREREQ_PM.
