p5-pod-readme uses perl5.use_module_build to build, which has a dependency on p5-module-build, hence adding the former to the latter as a dependency introduces a circular dependency. Also, p5-pod-readme is only an optional module for Module::Build.

OK, but how about informing the user about such an optional dependency in another way, e.g. in the description?
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
BTW, the last sentence of the description (about the prerequisites) should be updated.
