perl and config_requires... so I THINK config_requires IS PRODUCTION READY.
One of the biggest issue of CPAN installer is CPAN module cannot describe required CPAN shell version.
But so today, we have a cpanm. cpanm supports config_requires. If user of your module say "HEY! I cannot install cpanm" then you should say "USE CPANM!!!1111".
Yes, config_requires is production ready.
