Collecting my thoughts:
Though I agree with the question of Awazawi, I'd ask it a bit differently:
Do we really need to rely on IO::Socket::IP, or can we make it an
optional dependency limiting some feature?
I think most Windows users will use the DWIM Perl installed - I just
will have to make a new release -
I would not worry about that, but I'd probably print this information
at the beginning of the Makefile.
Something like this:
if (IsWindows and IO::Socket::IP is not installed yet with a version
that we can live with ) {
tell the user to first install the older version of the module (and
even print the command)
then quit the installation process
}
I just checked
http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/I/IO-Socket-IP.html#IO-Socket-IP-0.19
and there quite a few failure reports for Windows.
In any case I just submitted two more and re-launched my smokers on Windows.
Have PEVANS seen all those reports?
Azawawi, could you offer your help to PEVANS to fix the issue on Windows?
I think I'd just go forward with the release - with that addition in
the makefile.
