Non Issue (Score:1)

This is actually a non-issue*, which CPANPLUS handles gracefully for your. Try it ;)
The trick is to detect the circular dependency and take the appropriate action.
In CPANPLUS' case, we add the path to one module's extract dir to @INC, then build & install the other, reset @INC, then build the first.
* Where 'non-issue' holds true if at least 1 of the 2 dependencies is pure perl
