I cloned your repository (as it is an exact copy of the mquinson one).

I tried the commands below:

mkdir -v build
cd build/
perl ../Build.PL

The output os the last command was:

Can't locate Po4aBuilder.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
Po4aBuilder module) (@INC entries checked: .
/home/jamenson/perl5/lib/perl5/5.42.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/home/jamenson/perl5/lib/perl5/5.42.0
/home/jamenson/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
/home/jamenson/perl5/lib/perl5 /usr/lib/perl5/5.42/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.42/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.42/core_perl) at
../Build.PL line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../Build.PL line 9.

Same result inside my 'po4a-git' local copy repository.

Can you help with that?

My Operating System is Linux From Scratch (LFS) 12.4 (no package
manager at all).
Perl: 5.42.0
