Why "Require" and "Recommend" are Different Words

[ERROR] [Fri Aug 15 07:46:43 2008] This module requires 'Module::Build' and 'CPANPLUS::Dist::Build' to be installed, but you don't have it! Will fall back to 'CPANPLUS::Dist::MM', but might not be able to install!

FAIL Test-Kwalitee-1.01 i386-netbsd-thread-multi-64int 3.1

I didn't choose my distro's requirements randomly. I chose them because they're necessary to build, test, and install my distro. I'm not sure what this failure report should tell me. It won't work without the requirements I've already indicated are requirements?

Someone should write a CPAN testers client in a language other than Perl so people can use it to report that CPAN distributions tend to fail on boxes without Perl installed.
