I'm wondering if those options shouldn't have some default values, at
least for BR2_PACKAGE_CPANMINUS_MODULES and
BR2_PACKAGE_CPANMINUS_NATIVE_DEPENDENCIES, so that when our
autobuilders will enable this package, it will actually build
something. Of course, we can't test all possibilities, but at least
testing a basic module that has a native dependency would be a good
test.

Will this work if $(BR2_PACKAGE_CPANMINUS_MODULES) is empty?
