Hi Folks I'd like to see the META doc extended to tell me that a module requires a compiler.
For instance, this week I tried installing Data::Package (purely for data - yeah, right), and the dependency list - eventually - led to Scalar::List::Utils, which requires compilation, but doesn't tell you so in advance. At that point I promptly deleted Data::Package and abandoned all the other modules I installed along the way, since I work on a whole network of machines without the Sun Compiler which compiled Perl. Of course I don't expect Data::Package to tell me that a dependency requires compilation, although dare I say that should be the goal of this first step. -- Cheers Ron Savage, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 5/10/2006 http://savage.net.au/index.html Let the record show: Microsoft is not an Australian company
