It's a recursive dependency. Both Parse::RecDescent and Text::Balanced
are contained in DCONWAY/Parse-RecDescent-1.91.tar.gz. This distro has
a Makefile.PL which says
                PREREQ_PM => { 'Text::Balanced'=> 0 },

You can ignore the panic for now. I'm not yet sure how I'll fix
CPAN.pm.
Maybe I should just fix the distro. ;-)
