We are failing tests in AppVeyor, we need to figure out the problem and fix it, then possibly use that same fix in other affected Perl software packages...

After I merged your pull request, then I removed the kludgy Alien::PCRE2 installation code from the BEGIN block in Makefile.PL:

dcfd15c

I was hopeful that by removing my calls to Alien::PCRE2->dist_dir() in alienfile then you would also enable us to remove the kludy code. Unfortunately, doing so put us right back to the error of "Can't locate Alien/PCRE2 in @inc":

https://travis-ci.org/wbraswell/alien-jpcre2/jobs/252326599#L4489

For some unknown reason, I have always had to explicitly install Alien::Build (and IO::Socket::SSL) in my .travis.yml and appveyor.yml files before calling cpanm --installdeps . and if I disable this explicit installation then instead we get "Can't locate Alien/Build/MM.pm in @inc", obviously this is not good:

So what is the connection here, why do I have to explicitly install Alien::Build and why can't cpanm automatically find Alien::Build or Alien::PCRE2 to properly install? Is there a connection between these 2 issues or not? If they are 2 separate issues, then we need 2 separate answers...
