Subject: Text::BibTex doesn't understand "conference" entry
hello, i'm trying to test Text::BibTex module so I installed the latest version trhough cpan and then I ran the btcheck program in the package on my thesis bibliography some example of the error /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 7867-7871: required field 'booktitle' not present /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 8031-8035: required field 'publisher' not present /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 8031-8035: required field 'year' not present /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 8072-8076: unknown entry type "conference" /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 8098-8103: unknown entry type "conference" /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 8224-8228: unknown entry type "conference" /home/dse/bibtest.bib, lines 8260-8264: unknown entry type "conference" but latex and bibtex parsed it without any problem my distribution : mandrake 10.0 kernel 2.6.3-7mdk (linux x86) perl -v = This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i386-linux-thread-multi I assume the package is too old ?

Message body is not shown because it is too large.

After searching on the web found that 'conference' is an alias to 'inproceedings', added for compatibility with other software. Added 'conference' to Text::BibTeX. It should work on next release (hope to make it soon). Sorry for the delay on solving this question, but this module maintainer was changed. Cheers.
