build_requires_install_policy
to install or not to install when a module is
only needed for building. yes|no|ask/yes|ask/no
Set that to "yes".
N.B. As of the latest CPAN.pm development version, the default for
that is now "yes", the default for the regular "prerequisites_policy"
is "follow", and if the latter is "follow" CPAN now automatically sets
the PERL_AUTOINSTALL for default dependencies. That doesn't help
people with an existing config, but at least going forward it should
be less annoying to new users.
