Without actually trying it, I would suggest setting build_requires using the BUILD_REQUIRES argument for MakeMaker rather than in META_MERGE. Then you need to make sure that the ExtUtils::MakeMaker version in configure_requires is new enough to support BUILD_REQUIRES. That looks to be 6.56 (released in 2009).
