I think its reasonably fair to say, that either you have
A) A perl with module build ( 5.9.4 -> 5.18 )
or
B) A perl with proper configure_requires  ( 5.10.1 ->
or
C) A really archaic perl ( <5.9.4 )

So this change occuring in a *new* perl shouldn't create any new problems

And any perls that this /would/ be a problem on ( <5.9.4 ) , it is
*already* a problem there if you have either

A) Not already installed Module::Build

or

B) Not already installed a CPAN client that supports configure_requires
