Bug #11269 for CPAN-Dependency: Prevent "perl" from appearing as a prereq

Thu Jan 27 20:03:49 2005 adamk [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Does not skip "perl"

I noticed that the CPAN::Dependency object contains a skip list, including 'perl'. When running a little launch script I made for testing single modules, I get adam@red:~$ sudo perl show_deps.pl PPI PPI => PPI 0.900 by ADAMK (Adam Kennedy) prereqs: Class::Autouse, Class::Inspector, Clone, File::Slurp, List::MoreUtils, List::Util, perl [ERROR] 'perl' does not contain an author part [ERROR] Cannot find 'perl' in the module tree Show quoted text

>> error: no dist found for perl

END PROCESSING It would appear that this skip list is not being used.

The skip list is used, see line 228, in run(): next if not defined $dist or $self->{skip}{$dist_name}++; The skip list is here to prevent CPAN::Dependency from processing the Perl, Parrot or Ponie distributions themselves, but it isn't used during the prerequisites analysis. I'll add a separate list to prevent 'perl' from appearing in the prereqs list, as it's done for other core modules. Thank you for your bug report
