error on install - Config::Tiny required

[dom]

From http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27311:

On trying to install OpenGuides 0.60 from CPAN.pm I saw:

CPAN.pm: Going to build D/DO/DOM/OpenGuides-0.60.tar.gz

# running Build.PL
/usr/local/bin/perl Build.PL
Config::Tiny is required to configure this application.
Couldn't run Build.PL: at

Failed during this command:

Surely if Config::Tiny is required to install then it should be defined so that CPAN.pm will go away and install it for me?

META.yml does indeed specify that Config::Tiny is required. Which version of Module::Build do you have installed?

I've just seen this problem again in 0.61.
