I can see the 'features' word you're presumably referring to.

I can't see any documentation about 'features' in here.

There's another problem. I have Module::Install V 0.64 installed. See 
line 58 (?. My version is patched, see as below):
'if ( -f $0 and (stat($0))[9] > time ) {'.

Unfortunately, under Windows, Perl returns 1 time in UTC and 1 in local 
time, so modules with Module::Install in their 'inc' dir refuse to install.

In the past I've logged 2 bug reports for various modules, with patches, 
to RT over this. David Golden made the effort to track down 
Win32::UTCFileTime, which solves the problem in some cases.

There is a long discussion of this time problem in the docs for 
Win32::UTCFileTime.

What you do (to Module::Install) is add lines 31 & 32:
=>
=>	require 'Win32/UTCFileTime.pm' if ($^O eq 'MSWin32');
inside the BEGIN.

However, I could not get even this to work recently, on another module 
in the dependency chain of a module I was trying to install 
(CGI::Compress::Gzip I think).

The whole problem is a can of worms, if you ask me :-(.
