When you use perl 5.16, and try to install some modules, then you may encounter the following error:

I'm seeing this as well: https://github.com/tokuhirom/OrePAN2/runs/886236746

Actually I have an idea that solves this problem, and cpm v1 will eliminate this kind of problems completely.

Does that mean we'll have to wait until next year? :)

In my case requires 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker', '7.06'; fixed it for me.

Too soon. I'm still seeing some failures https://github.com/tokuhirom/OrePAN2/actions/runs/182849013

For the time being, I will add a workarond for this issue.
