The CONFIGURE_REQUIRES directive is only really required to be supported on the distribution author's 'machine', not
on end-users' machines.
App-EUMM-Upgrade is a good tool for upgrading a Makefile.PL that produces something like this, any fancy features will be removed when it is run on the end-users' configuration.
'configure_requires' itself is documented in the CPAN::Meta::Spec. CPAN clients ( such as cpan, cpanp and cpanm ) will read any META.yml/META.json file included with a distribution and resolve any modules listed as 'configure_requires' before executing Makefile.PL/Build.PL.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
