Re^2: AI::NNEasy to setup fast a Neural Network using just Perl and XS.

Actually this is a bug of CPAN.pm, since it's already there:

use Class::HPLOO::MakeMaker ;

WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'          => 'AI::NNEasy' ,
    'VERSION_FROM'  => 'lib/AI/NNEasy.pm' ,
    'PREREQ_PM'     => {
      'Class::HPLOO'  => 0.21 ,
      'Inline'        => 0.44 ,
    } ,
    ($] >= 5.005 ?
      ( ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/AI/NNEasy.pm',
        AUTHOR        => 'Graciliano M. P. <gmpassos@cpan.org>'
       ) : ()
     ),
);

How do you expect CPAN.pm to get past: `use Class::HPLOO::MakeMaker ;` [download] to be able to run the code that tells it that it needs Class::HPLOO ? I looked, and CPAN.pm parses the Makefile so you should try including a pre-built Makefile in your distribution (that will get replaced). I also checked CPANPLUS.pm and it also parses Makefiles to find prerequisites. I don't know if including a Makefile will be enough to fix this problem, but you shouldn't just blithely blame the circular dependencies you've created with Class::HPLOO on "a bug in CPAN.pm". Please uninstall your copy of Class::HPLOO, download your module(s) that use it from CPAN, and test that they install correctly. - tye	[reply] [d/l]

Wow! Big mistake! I have just added the new MakeMaker in the last release based in what Inline does. This was added to install the compiled XS in the Perl distribution. I will look for a solution using the default MakeMaker. But note that the prerequisite bug at CPAN really exists and is a common bug that reports a lot of wrong tests by the CPAN testers.
