That's great.
I have submitted the corresponding RPM to Mandrake. It should show up
within the week.
I noticed a couple peculiarities while making the rpm:
1. CHANGES file is empty.
It's touched in lib/Makefile-5005.pm, but that doesn't seem to explain
why it's empty.
2. NEEDS file has no mention of "Storable" module which seems to be
inconsistent with lib/Makefile-5005.pm:
In NEEDS:
POE::Filter::Reference wants FreezeThaw
POE::Filter::Reference wants Compress::Zlib
In Makefile-5005.pm
"Optional modules for marshaling/serializing data." => [
-default => 0,
'Storable' => '',
'Compress::Zlib' => '',
],
Finally in POE::Filter::Reference,
If SERIALIZER is omitted or undef, the Reference filter will try to
use Storable. If storable isn't found, it will try FreezeThaw. And
finally, if FreezeThaw is not found, it will die.
This seems to indicate that POE::Filter::Reference wants either Storable
or FreezeThaw.
In all cases, thank you, Rocco.
