IRC was also quick: 21:31 <bricas> the oldest indexed version on search.cpan, 0.54, released 10 Jan 2006 has it. 21:32 <bricas> 910:http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Module-Install-0.54/lib/Module/AutoInstall.pm # c.f. In the pkg-perl repo we have a few modules which ship M::I 0.36 (a grep over inc/* shows no results for "skipdeps"); I tried to build libspork-perl with --skipdeps and saw no complaints, so it seems to be ignored.
