Which version of the perl core? Taking a fairly common dependency as an example, Storable was introduced in 5.8.0, so people using 5.6 won't have it unless you declare it as a pre-requisite. You need to list anything that isn't core in the minimum version of perl that you support. And ideally say what that minimum version is. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "internet beard fetish club" Today's previously unreported paraphilia is tomorrow's Internet sensation
