I recently tried to install perl5i on a fresh install using "cpan .". It installed all the run time prereqs but ignored the build_requires so the module didn't build.

The latest Strawberry (5.10.0.5) which I don't have in front of me at the moment. Its possible it got fixed very recently as I can't replicate with my 5.10.0 on OS X. I'll investigate. -- Defender of Lexical Encapsulation

Try it with CPAN::SQLite turned off. That's been an off-and-on problem for dependency resolution in the past. I thought it was fixed, but I'd want to rule it out before you start chasing rabbit trails. -- David
