Subject: | Makefile.PL missing requisites and empty test breaks cpan installation |
Installing DIME::Tools via CPAN was unsuccessful and I had to install it manually.
This problem is easily resolved :
Makefile.PL should have Data::UUID in it pre_req section
t/1.t is empty and therefore make test will fail, it should contain at least a short plan and use_ok to check the module compiles
I would create a new skeleton package with h2xs -X and use the skeleton test file.
For users unable to install the module via cpan, just install Data::UUID first then install DIME::Tools manually and skip the make test.
