Bug#514941: RFP: libtest-prereq-perl -- check if Makefile.PL has the right pre-requisites
Hi:
Well, the problem is that the modules specified in Perl core vary from
version to version.
For example the version.pm module is NOW Perl Core for 5.10; but was
not for previous versions. So when you're developing your module on
Perl 5.10 but distributing to other (possibly lower versions) targets,
then you will need to include what /your/ Perl Core includes too.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having Core modules as
prerequisite, because then they'll be quickly found and the script
will move along happily.
Also, I'm pleased Test::Apocalypse is being packaged, since my module
(Test::DistManifest) will be packaged as well, at a later date (when
the upstream dependency, Module::Manifest, has been fixed).
Thanks for your work!
Cheers,
Jonathan
