If you wish to package MakeMaker in a binary package, here's some tips.

tl;dr version:

1a) Set the BUILDING_AS_PACKAGE environment variable to a true value.

OR

1b) Set the $BUILDING_AS_PACKAGE variable in the Makefile.PL to true.

2)  Package normally, but watch out for dependency loops.

MakeMaker cannot have any dependencies, everything depends on it and

that would be a dependency loop.  It instead bundles pre-built copies

of all its non-core dependencies in the bundled/ directory.  It adds

them to itself if they're not already installed.

This can confuse packagers, it makes it look like MakeMaker contains a

lot more modules than it really does and causes conflicts.

You can tell MakeMaker not to use its bundles and instead declare the

dependencies normally.  This is done either by setting the

BUILDING_AS_PACKAGE environment variable to true or by patching the

Makefile.PL and setting $BUILDING_AS_PACKAGE to true.  On the down

side, there will be dependency loops which your packaging system will

have to resolve.
