The Data​::Dumper Makefile.PL assumes the existence of a compiler and fails at build-time otherwise.

This won't be a problem in the core, but can cause spurious CPAN Testers failures on some interesting platforms.

The Makefile.PL should detect the existance of the C compiler and shortcut return otherwise, producing a NA result in CPAN Testeres.

can you patch it in your repository (Data​::Dumper CPAN release lives
there) and then send me a ping? I'd make sure things get propagated
appropriately.

Steffen,

Was a patch ever submitted?

Do we really need this? On cpantesters.org Data-Dumper has very few
failure reports.

If we needed this probe for Data-Dumper, wouldn't we also need it for
every other distribution in the cpan/ directory?

Thank you very much.

Not that I know of.
