That is possible that there is no depend target in the make file.
Just curious how you built/get the make file for it?
Kalpesh,
The old school method of installing Perl modules.
The makefile is created by running "perl Makefile.PL". Then one would
execute "make", "make test", and "make install". When I first started
using Perl, there was no "cpan" or "cpanm" that automated much of the
process. Fetching prerequisites and installing them is one of the major
reasons for using cpan/cpanm. It's been such a long time since I had
used the OG module install method that I forgot that it does not have a
mechanism for fetching and installing dependencies. Back in the day the
dependencies were typically noted in the module's README file and one
had to manually retrieve and install them.
This method is definitely not for Perl novices. These days it's more for
those who display masochistic tendencies...
